Ok. Looking at do_div(), it seems to be the correct API to use
for this problem. Just change bar_size type to u64 (instead of casting)
and use do_div() ? That is how it is seems to be used in other drivers.

I still think that a patch that removes the "remainder" code is a good
cleanup, so please send it as patch 1/2, you can be the author, just add:
