__div64_31 is incorrect. Patch and description see below.
How long did you debug this until you finally got down to div64 as the cause of this? It must have taken you hours!

--- Subject: [PATCH] __div64_31 broken for CONFIG_MARCH_G5
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
The implementation of __div64_31 for G5 machines is broken. The comments in __div64_31 are correct, only the code does not do what the comments say. The part "If the remainder has overflown subtract base and increase the quotient" is only partially realized, the base is subtracted correctly but the quotient is only increased if the dividend had the last bit set. Using the correct instruction fixes the problem.
