uwe | For unsignad integer division gcc used to emit a call to __udivsi3
"millicode" function that uses compiler-private ABI. Newer gcc uses
heavily tuned __udivsi3_i4i that is NOT compatible with __udivsi3
because it's expected to clobber different registers. We don't want
to link the kernel against libgcc and we don't have resources to write
heavily tuned version ourselves, so clone __udivsi3 but adjust it to
conform to the __udivsi3_i4i clobber spec.
Ditto for signed division.
You can make gcc use old routines with -mdiv=call-div1 to avoid few
extra instructions to save/restore the right registers in the signed
division funcion.
