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.
