[PATCH] Compile failure fix for ppc on 2.6.17-rc4-mm3 (2nd attempt)

[Mel Gorman]

(Resending with Andrew's email address correct this time)

For the last few -mm releases, kernels built for an old RS6000 failed to
compile with the message;

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.init.text+0x77b4): In function `vrsqrtefp':
: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.init.text+0x7800): In function `vrsqrtefp':
: undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

2.6.17-rc5 is not affected but I didn't search for the culprit patch in
-mm. The following patch adds an implementation of __udivdi3 for plain old
ppc32. This may not be the correct fix as Google tells me that __udivdi3
has been replaced by calls to do_div() in a number of cases. There was no
obvious way to do that for vrsqrtefp, hence this workaround. The patch should
be acked, rejected or replaced by a ppc expert.
