Hello! You really should not use C division operator for 64-bit integers
as gcc still is not able to generate assembler code for such division
on many 32-bit platforms.

You should use some function or macro from linux/math64.h or div64.h
header file. For every combination of types, pairs and required
operation there is specific function/macro (e.g. u64/u32, u64%u32,
u64/u64, etc...).

I think that lldiv() is the correct call here. This function expects u64
as dividend, u32 as divisor and returns u64 result.
