+ * Reciprocal divide
+ *
+ * Used with permission from original authors
+ *  Hannes Frederic Sowa and Daniel Borkmann
+ *
+ * This algorithm is based on the paper "Division by Invariant
+ * Integers Using Multiplication" by Torbjörn Granlund and Peter
+ * L. Montgomery.
+ *
+ * The assembler implementation from Agner Fog, which this code is
+ * based on, can be found here:
+ * http://www.agner.org/optimize/asmlib.zip
+ *
+ * This optimization for A/B is helpful if the divisor B is mostly
+ * runtime invariant. The reciprocal of B is calculated in the
+ * slow-path with reciprocal_value(). The fast-path can then just use
+ * a much faster multiplication operation with a variable dividend A
+ * to calculate the division A/B.
