The current Alpha chips don't provide hardware for integer
division. The C compiler expects the functions
__divqu: 64-bit unsigned long divide
__remqu: 64-bit unsigned long remainder
__divq/__remq: signed 64-bit
__divlu/__remlu: unsigned 32-bit
__divl/__reml: signed 32-bit
These are not normal C functions: instead of the normal calling
sequence, these expect their arguments in registers t10 and t11, and
return the result in t12 (aka pv). Register AT may be clobbered
(assembly temporary), anything else must be saved.
Furthermore, the return address is in t9 instead of ra.

v0 ($0) t12/pv ($27)
a0 ($16) t10 ($24)
a1 ($17) t11 ($25)
ra ($26) t9 ($23)
