The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the
signed counterpart is missing, which is e.g. needed when dealing with
time values.
This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also
attempts to cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often
requires the use of temporary variables for the dividend. To avoid the
need for temporary variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide
variant also provides a version which doesn't return the remainder.

Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function,
otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used.

As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide,
which avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate
better code. It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where
the result is known (i.e. upper quotient is zero).
