We already had the implementation for __udiv_qrnnd (unsigned divide for multi-precision arithmetic) as part of the alpha math emulation code. But you can disable the math emulation code - even if you shouldn't - and then the MPI code that actually wants this functionality (and is needed by various crypto functions) will fail to build. So move the extended-precision divide code to be a regular library function, just like all the regular division code is. That way ie is available regardless of math-emulation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
