Supposedly the actual history of how Intel's hideous segmented design was invented and pushed as a "feature" by hardware engineers:https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/a/6989/2070
Banked memory isn't really usable from C except by treating it all as volatile. Best model is probably treating it more like a block device.

AFAICT, few microprocessor architectures designed before the early 1990s had efficient support of C as an explicit objective, though some were OK for C mostly by accident. WE32000 in mid-1980s may have been the first specifically designed for C.

What about NS32000?

Possibly.
