I think simply calling ktime_to_ms()/ktime_to_us() should result
in reasonably efficient code, since the C version is able to
convert the constant divisor into a multiply/shift operation.

div64_s64() itself is never optimized for constant arguments since
the C version is not inline, if any driver needs those, this is
better done open-coded so hopefully it gets caught in review
when this is called in a fast path.
