i assume you are interested in what will be the physical address you will see on the bus. and the answer is, if you see something on the bus (depends on cacheability of the address) it will be based on the page table setting for the virtual address value in ebx

The value of theupper 3 bytes of the location referenced by ebx will be unaffected by the above instruction.
