    Improve how our printk calls do_div by using constants.
    
    The do_div code has a nice optimization in it when it is called with
    constants. The current highly generalized use of it defeats those
    optimizations and causes trouble on ARM, resulting in a complex and
    buggy code path.
    
    Since we only need to print in bases 8, 10, and 16, do a minor
    restructuring of the code so that we call do_div with constants.
    If you need base 2, print in base 16 and do it in your head. :-)
    
    This fixes an ongoing problem with ARM, will not harm X86, and will
    help PPC should we ever want to support it again.
    Plus, I don't have to ever try to understand the div64 assembly and where
    it's going wrong :-)
