Interesting, that is a lot of stack for a function that only has a couple
of local variables:

#define IFNAMSIZ        16
        char ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
        struct sock *sk = (struct sock *)m->private;
        struct bcm_sock *bo = bcm_sk(sk);
        struct bcm_op *op;


This is a parisc-allyesconfig kernel, so I assume that CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES
is on, which instruments every 'if' in the kernel. If that causes problems,
we could decide to disable the do_div optimization whenever CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES
is enabled.
