This is too simplistic and prone to overflow. We need something like this
(untested)

	tmp = (s64)*val * rescale->numerator;
	rem = do_div(tmp, rescale->denominator);
	*val = tmp;
	tmp = ((s64)rem * 1000000000LL + (s64)*val2) * rescale->numerator;
	do_div(tmp, rescale->denominator);
	*val2 = tmp;

Still not very safe with numerator and denominator both "large", but much
better. And then we need normalizing the fraction part after the above, of
course.

And, of course, I'm not sure what *val == -1 and *val2 == 500000000 really
means. Is that -1.5 or -0.5? The above may very well need adjusting for
negative values...

Cheers,
Peter
