Hello Russell,

In the current JIT, emit_udiv() is only being called with:

- rm = ARM_R4 (r_A) and rn = ARM_R0 (r_scrach) for BPF_ALU | BPF_DIV | BPF_K

- rm = ARM_R4 (r_A) and rn = ARM_R5 (r_X) for BPF_ALU | BPF_DIV | BPF_X

so it should not cause any issue in the current code state.

But yes, I'll rework the patch to avoid any other nasty surprises should the
code change.

Thanks,
