+ The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
+ __aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed
+ and unsigned integers. Some v7 CPUs have support for the sdiv
+ and udiv instructions that can be used to implement those
+ functions.
+
+ Enabling this option allows the kernel to modify itself to
+ replace the first two instructions of these library functions
+ with the sdiv or udiv plus "bx lr" instructions when the CPU
+ it is running on supports them. Typically this will be faster
+ and less power intensive than running the original library
+ code to do integer division.
