The reason they want to do this is to use an intel hardware feature called v8086 mode, which maps the segmented real address space onto the first megabyte of the linear address space.
You could fake it, but then you wouldn't be using the "hardware acclerated" emulation that makes things like dosemu very fast despite being a relatively complex feat.
