I did see gcc generated division instruction instead of shift
instruction on x86 when the kernel is compiles with size optimization.
I think this is because it division instruction is shorter.
The exact place I we saw was the UBIFS binary search function, and
division by 2 was not compiled into a shift instruction.
So what I suggested is to use shift explicitly if this is wanted.
