A "quadrant" is 1GB of address space. Think of each 1GB of address space
in 4GB as a "quadrant".

Probably.

Yes. "2 bit s" field in fdc/fic map each "quadrant" to sr4-7.
ie 0-1GB uses sr4, 1-2GB uses sr5, etc.
John was just saying it doesn't matter since parisc-linux uses
the same value in all four (sr4-7) space registers.
