...except that for it to be truly generic (i.e. usable on 32-bit arches),
it should be using do_div() for 64-bit divides.

I understand this series is targetted at 64-bit platforms currently, but
I'm looking (again) at getting adaptive NOHZ working on ARM, and this
was the first obvious obstacle to even compiling.

I see this is already merged into tip/sched/core, so below is a patch on
top of that to convert to using do_div().  If you're OK with the
approach, I'll post it formally to LKML.

Thanks,
