/*
* This algorithm is based on the paper "Division by Invariant
* Integers Using Multiplication" by Torbjörn Granlund and Peter
* L. Montgomery.
*
* The assembler implementation from Agner Fog, which this code is
* based on, can be found here:
* http://www.agner.org/optimize/asmlib.zip
*
* This optimization for A/B is helpful if the divisor B is mostly
* runtime invariant. The reciprocal of B is calculated in the
* slow-path with reciprocal_value(). The fast-path can then just use
* a much faster multiplication operation with a variable dividend A
* to calculate the division A/B.
