/*
* This file describes reciprocical division.
*
* This optimizes the (A/B) problem, when A and B are two u32
* and B is a known value (but not known at compile time)
*
* The math principle used is :
* Let RECIPROCAL_VALUE(B) be (((1LL << 32) + (B - 1))/ B)
* Then A / B = (u32)(((u64)(A) * (R)) >> 32)
*
* This replaces a divide by a multiply (and a shift), and
* is generally less expensive in CPU cycles.
*/
/*
* Computes the reciprocal value (R) for the value B of the divisor.
* Should not be called before each reciprocal_divide(),
* or else the performance is slower than a normal divide.
