Hi,

I'm sorry for the lack of feedback on earlier iteration, I've simply
been too slow.

I think/fear kbuildbot will still trigger some build issues on 32bit
arches on the above line.

I think div64_u64_rem() should be used in place of '%' for and 
div64_u64() in place of '/' when operating on 64bits integers. 

There are a few more occurences below.

I think 'this_cpu_inc()' could be used here.

Thanks for sharing, this infra will be likely quite useful to me :)

Cheers,
