No, I mean if level == PT_DIRECTORY_LEVEL, then we want role.quadrant <<
8, not 9.

For level == PT_DIRECTORY_LEVEL, quadrant is in the range 0..3. Each sp
maps 1GB, while the guest page table maps 4GB. So the upper two bits
become the quadrant.

They only work for PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL, so for them 9 is correct.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
