Well, the kbuild test robot didn't complain at the time so I assumed
that it was ok to take the patch but indeed, there are more division
further in the function.

Sasha, I think I prefer having 32 bit platforms fail on the 21st of
January 11761191 rather than adding more uses of do_div in the function.
I'll have a look at the performance impact on 32 bit platforms.
