panic: integer divide fault on 6.1

Hi all,

I was contacted by Chris who had the same problem.
Since I didn't follow up on my problem he asked me if it was solved
and indeed it was solved by Søren and the fix has been committed to
CURRENT:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2006-September/188353.html

I'm hoping this gets MFC'ed in time for 6.2

My conversation with Søren is bellow:

Sure, I'll test it when I get home later today and start building a
kernel on another machine that's currently off.
I'll give you feedback tomorrow.

I'm happy to report that your patch did the trick. The machine happily
boot a today's CURRENT+patch :)
Tell me if you need to test something more.
Thanks!
