Other alternatives are search the lkml archive for a patch from
George Anzinger on 2003-mar-05,
subject: [PATCH] Functions to do easy scaled math.

or if all you need is 64-bit mul and div, and only during setup
(when speed isn't a huge factor), you could use the divrem64()
function in this sample /procfs module:
