Simple. The non-arch specific code does not use 64/64
divides through the "/" operator (otherwise there would
already have been udivdi3 linking errors). So what
remains to check is arch/arm26. grep -Pr 'int64|\bu64'
returns only a few results to check (kernel/ecard.c,
nwfpe/), so the answer is most likely no.
