Can one instruction on x86 be split across a page boundary?
Can an instruction could be located on multiple pages like... half of the instruction(some bytes consisting that instructions) is located on page A, the rest located on page B?

The answer is yes, parts of the same instruction can be located in two adjacent pages of memory.
