Yep, this might be the case.

I think its more 4 arithmetic instructions : 2 multiplies, one shift,
one sub.

Note that when John adds an rcu_head, the 0x1ff becomes 0x1fd

   	89 f8                	mov    %edi,%eax
   	ba b3 21 c1 80       	mov    $0x80c121b3,%edx
   	f7 e2                	mul    %edx
   	c1 ea 08             	shr    $0x8,%edx
  	69 d2 fd 01 00 00    	imul   $0x1fd,%edx,%edx
  	29 d7                	sub    %edx,%edi
  	89 f8                	mov    %edi,%eax
