   7  * This file describes reciprocical division.
   8  *
   9  * This optimizes the (A/B) problem, when A and B are two u32
  10  * and B is a known value (but not known at compile time)
  11  *
  12  * The math principle used is :
  13  *   Let RECIPROCAL_VALUE(B) be (((1LL << 32) + (B - 1))/ B)
  14  *   Then A / B = (u32)(((u64)(A) * (R)) >> 32)
  15  *
  16  * This replaces a divide by a multiply (and a shift), and
  17  * is generally less expensive in CPU cycles.
