Unfortunately there's a bit of a gotcha here - we can't actually use functions
like div_ceil as-is, because a number of 32 bit architectures do not support
u64 / u64 natively. The problem is we don't have __aeabi_uldivmod implemented
because we also don't want people to be defaulting to 64 bit division. Since
GSP_PAGE_SIZE can be 32 bits here, normally in C you would want to use
DIV_U64_ROUND_UP.

FWIW: I bumped the conversation thread on fixing this again ("General" → "64-
bit division" in the rust for linux zulip) since we've had 64 bit division
come up a couple of times now for rust in a few different places, so it's
probably good we come up with a solution for this so people don't keep having
to do workarounds :P.
