Do you mean the do_div from asm/div64h ?
It seems overly complicated to me. It would result in something like:
tp = mr->cur_tp;
do_div(tp, 18000);
tp = (tp * 96) >> 10;

Or am I missing something?
Probably
tp = mr->cur_tp * 96;
would not work..., as it would already overflow. Not sure if
do_div(tp * 96, 18000);
would work?

Best regards,
Arnd
