common implementation of iterative div/mod

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.

The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.

This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.
