I haven't had the time to fully re-look into the details, I'm busy
with many other things at the moment.

But looking at DIV_ROUND_UP() macro it rounds up.  It gives an
upper bound of 4 for any value 1 to 4.  Unlike what you claim.

Because it goes "(n + (d - 1)) / d"

Which for 'd' of 4 gives:

1 --> 4
2 --> 4
3 --> 4
4 --> 4
