And what we can do here? 32-bit arm does not have 32-bit division
instruction, so it is needed to use some sort of *idiv* function.

do_div() is macro which is doing 64-bit division by using 32-bit C
operations '/' and '%', therefore it does not help with anything as this
code is doing 32-bit math (not 64-bit).

Moreover in do_div() implementation is already check that first passed
argument is of 64-bit type, so we cannot use it for 32-bit values.

Also note that in files which are touched by this commit are already
used 32-bit division operations via C '/' operator.

So I really do not know what is expected to do here...
