  do_div() does a 64-by-32 division. Here the divisor is an unsigned long
which on some platforms is 64 bit wide. So use div64_ul instead of do_div
to avoid a possible truncation. Issue identified using the
coccicheck tool.

Clearly, I should have looked better and only reply to this one:

As per the email Greg linked to, please take a close look at the surround code
and include analysis of whether the value can actually be greater than 32 bits.
Note that in most cases that would actually mean the code was broken on 32 bit
platforms.
