(uint64_t) >> 32 is pretty much the standard way to get upper half of an 
uint64 variable, compiler should not
generate silly code for this.

I don't have a BE system to test, but I did check assembly code 
generated for BE system and didn't find
anything wrong.

I will update the new patch soon.

The following is my test code and assembly dump for BE system of the 
function.

typedef unsigned long long ull;
ull mydiv64y(ull tt, unsigned base, unsigned *p)
{
     ull t = tt;
     *p = do_div(t, base);
     *p = do_div(tt, base+1);
     return tt;
}
