OK, thanks. tomorrow, I will send related patch: use 'div64_u64_rem'
instead of umoddi3 ('%').  :-)

And I guess, in kernel wide, we need remove all 'umoddi3' and 'udivdi3'.

  umoddi3 ('%'): frv, ia64, parisc, tile, xtensa
  udivdi3 ('/'): frv, ia64, parisc, tile, xtensa, sh, sparc.
  especially, sh and sparc only provide '/', do not provide '%'.


BTW: originally, I make a mistake -- treat 'udevsi3' as 'udevdi3'.


Thanks.
