Suppose we've got 8 of our 12 frac bits populated. You've added a ">>
1" to the unused_frac_mask, so it's only 0x7 instead of 0xf. When you
say "round up", you add 0x8 (the high bit of the unused mask") then and
with ~0x7. If you started with 0x1 in the low bits of div, you'd end up
with 0x8, so you've set an unused bit instead of actually rounding up.

Did my logic work, here? I think you just want to drop the ">>1" in
unused_frac_mask.
