Nobody can tell you that, because it's impossible in protected mode. 
Protected mode uses memory-mapping unit inside the CPU, and application
porograms cannot access the data structures where the CPU maintains the 
mapping tables.

Please explain why do you think you need the physical address.  Most such 
cases have other solutions, but you need to supply the description of 
your problem.
