Yep, it's generated from the following code:

/*
* Calculate the number of 512byte blocks used.
*/
static inline unsigned long
nfs_calc_block_size(u64 tsize)
{
loff_t used = (tsize + 511) / 512;
return (used > ULONG_MAX) ? ULONG_MAX : used;
}

and gcc 2.7.2.3 generates a call to __udivdi3 for u64 division on ia32:

nfs_calc_block_size:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp,%ebp
subl $8,%esp
pushl %esi
pushl %ebx
movl 8(%ebp),%ebx
movl 12(%ebp),%esi
movl %ebx,%eax
movl %esi,%edx
addl $511,%eax
adcl $0,%edx
pushl $0
pushl $512
pushl %edx
pushl %eax
call __udivdi3
...

Seems that some other architectures have the __udivdi3 function defined
but i38d doesn't. And it probably should.
