Hi Dave,
I build-tested the patch for both 32-bit and 64-bit x86. If my
understanding is correct, since the divisor is 64-bit here, the
compiler will do "if (delta > 1000000) hz = 0; else hz =
1000000/(s32)delta" automatically?
In general, is this a good thumb-rule to follow - use do_div if the
dividend is 64-bit, and normal divide operator if only the divisor is
64-bit?
