Applied your fix to tip:x86/headers, thanks!

If something non-deep-legacy uses an ugly construct like this:

The right fix will be to remove that division from that code ...

I wouldnt dare to touch the aha1542 driver though. OTOH, build testing
only came up with the aha1542 case so we should be good.
