Mmmm, I was under the assumption that DIV_ROUND_UP() did unsigned long
long division correctly for sector_t on 32-bit , but apparently not with
the new v4.1 transport_allocate_data_tasks() code..   Andy..?  

Once upon a time we used the following __udivdi3() and __umoddi3()
wrappers around do_div() to handle this instruction in target_core_mod
for 32-bit, but we ended up removing these during the .38 merge in favor
of IIRC direct do_div() usage.  These wrappers are still in use for LIO
backports on 32-bit x86 and arm however..

So I'll go ahead and make sure this works on i386 with lio-core-2.6.git
shortly, and double check __udivdi3() usage with iscsi-target in
for-next.  Andrew and Christoph, did have any input on a preffered
method of handling this case in the new v4.1 DIV_ROUND_UP() usage..?

Thank you!
