I assume it's one or both of these loops in arch/x86/xen/time.c
do_stolen_accounting() that are being optimized into a divide which
generates a libgcc call:

while (stolen >= NS_PER_TICK) {
ticks++;
stolen -= NS_PER_TICK;
}

or

while (blocked >= NS_PER_TICK) {
ticks++;
blocked -= NS_PER_TICK;
}

I seem to recall in one previous case we added some dummy assembly code
to stop gcc from doing this. Not sure if that is a sustainable fix, though..
