This avoids printf() spam about file reads (such as loading an image)
into unaligned buffers (and the associated memcpy()).  And generally
seems like a good idea.

It seems you missed my mail dated 2017-08-02T01:21Z:

With DIV_ROUND_UP you introduce a 64bit division. Depending on the
architecture this is only available via stdlib which is not available in
U-Boot.

Please, use
+ EFI_PAGE_MASK) >> EFI_PAGE_SHIFT;
as in the original line.

Best regards

I didn't miss it.. but I did disagree with it.  It is an unsigned
division by a power-of-two.  The compiler turns this into a
right-shift.  So in fact both ways generate the same code, but the
DIV_ROUND_UP() is more clear.

This conversion is not enforced by the define in include/linux/kernel.h.

This is not required by ISO/IEC 9899. So you should not rely on it.
We surely do not want compiler specific coding in U-Boot.

I compiled:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        long long int a = 16;
        long long int b = 2;
        long long int c;
        c = a / b;
        return c;
}

on a mips system with gcc 6.3

gcc -O0 -nostdlib test.c > test

and got

/tmp/ccenefOj.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `__divdi3'
test.c:(.text+0x60): undefined reference to `__divdi3'

I'm not sure why a standard would require this.  But in practice, it
is one of the easier things a compiler will do.  (Trust me, I've
implemented the same optimization in mesa's shader compiler.)

We elsewhere rely on DCE (dead code elimination) to avoid unresolved
symbols for stuff inside an 'if (CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(FOO))' and that is
a harder thing for a compiler to do.

So unless someone is trying to use a complete toy compiler, it
shouldn't be a problem.  And if they are, they have bigger issues ;-)

Note that EFI_LOADER does not even compile with -O0.. but try:  c = a / 2;

my guess is with -O0 gcc is not doing constant propagation.

I did already try this on aarch64 with -O0 (but without the variable in between)

All other divisions by EFI_PAGE_SIZE are consistently handled in the
