lib/extable.c: remove an expensive integer divide in search_extable()
Actual code let compiler generates idiv instruction on x86. Using a right shift is OK here and readable as well. Before patch 10: 57 push %edi 11: 56 push %esi 12: 89 d6 mov %edx,%esi 14: 53 push %ebx 15: 89 c3 mov %eax,%ebx 17: eb 22 jmp 3b <search_extable+0x2b> 19: 89 f0 mov %esi,%eax 1b: ba 02 00 00 00 mov $0x2,%edx 20: 29 d8 sub %ebx,%eax 22: 89 d7 mov %edx,%edi 24: c1 f8 03 sar $0x3,%eax 27: 99 cltd 28: f7 ff idiv %edi 2a: 8d 04 c3 lea (%ebx,%eax,8),%eax 2d: 39 08 cmp %ecx,(%eax) ...
