The kernel already has several implmentations and usages of 64 by 64
bit divide.
Although it is significantly slower, there are places that need it so
provide one generic version using scaling, and allow existing platform
versions to continue.
This looks like good -mm material. Tested on x86_64 and i386.

The reason we implement 64/32 via do_div() is, for better or for worse, to
make people think before they use it. And to make it stand out, and so
that we discover places that are using it by accident, where they could use
something cheaper.
However your implementation of the presumably even more expensive 64/64
allows us to do 64/64 with a plain old "/" operator.
If the do_div() philosophy is any good then we should surely repeat it for
64/64, no?

Then we should pull the existing udivdi3 implementations?

Not much point really. Some architectures have gone and done that, but x86
has not. x86 has enough coverage for us to pick up most problems, and any
remaining problems are obviously in scruffy architectures which don't care
about performance ;)

I doubt arm26 uses udivdi3, but that's something Ian would have to
confirm.

I doubt it is used also, however I am not in a position to test this
until at least after I have moved house. Please leave alone for now.

Simple. The non-arch specific code does not use 64/64
divides through the "/" operator (otherwise there would
already have been udivdi3 linking errors). So what
remains to check is arch/arm26. grep -Pr 'int64|\bu64'
returns only a few results to check (kernel/ecard.c,
nwfpe/), so the answer is most likely no.

Looks that way. ok, nuke it :)

IMHO it is even more important that the user of your 64/64 div is aware
that it only returns an approximate result.
I certainly don't want to have any code in the kernel that by accident
makes an allocation a few bytes short of the actual size of the object
(just to make up a drastic example).
