Uh, somehow I thought the reference was about bh->b_blocknr;
Ok, never mind.

Register pressure burst at i386 ?

Huh ? No nice power-of-two and shifting ?
(In filesystem side there is - AFFS or HFS - some which
have non-power-of-two block sizes, but luckily those
variants are also limited under 2G in file size...)
Perhaps redoing div64() in inlined function instead of
side-effectfull macro with explite variable passing via
reference.
Perhaps sacrificing a bit more, and using explicite
div64() function which is exported in symbols (and
explicite variable passing via reference)
After all, if one really must use it, do it explicite,
but first of all: reliable.
It is dividend64/divisor32 -> remainder64,modulo32 after all.
(E.g. SLOW(er than 32/32 -> 32,32))
