Damn. It's your compiler turning a while-loop into a divide. Which
likely isn't even an optimization, but whatever.

John: I think that while-loop needs to be something like

if (raw_nsecs >= NSEC_PER_SEC) {
u64 raw_secs = raw_nsecs;
raw_nsecs = do_div(raw_secs, NSEC_PER_SEC);
raw_time.tv_sec += taw_secs;
}
raw_time.tc_nsec = raw_nsecs;

which is sad and overly complicated, but the simple thing seems to get
messed up by the compiler.

Untested. Maybe I got the complex do_div() semantics wrong. Somebody
needs to check.
