Yes, I re-construct this function from GCC 4.2.1. The copyright part,
I referred to the other GCC routine copies in kernel such as ucmpdi2,
muldi3, ashldi3 and so on, I found they removed the 'GCC' string, so I
use the same copyright from these files.
I will re-write the copyright part and submit the next version. Thanks
to all for help.
