I expect the quotient, remainder, and modulo procedures
of R5RS to be provided by an R5RS-backward-compatibility
library of some sort.

The same compiler techniques that would be used to
compile fixnum+ into a single instruction would be
used to compile quotient into a single instruction
on architectures that make that possible.
