Thanks, but which one? "asm goto" or EX_FLAG_XXX_AX hack?

As for the latter. I took another look at asm/extable_fixup_types.h
and it turns out we don't need a new EX_FLAG_, this version

	static inline u64 mul_u64_u64_div_u64(u64 a, u64 mul, u64 div)
	{
		u64 q;

		asm ("mulq %2; 1: divq %3; 2:\n"
			_ASM_EXTABLE_TYPE(1b, 2b, EX_TYPE_IMM_REG | EX_DATA_IMM(-1))
			: "=a" (q)
			: "a" (a), "rm" (mul), "rm" (div)
			: "rdx");

		return q;
	}

seems to work and I guess it is the absolute winner performance wise.

But to me the main question is: Peter, David, do we want to add
BUG and/or WARN into mul_u64_u64_div_u64??? If yes, then this version
won't work.

Oleg.
