The 64bit division functions never had unwinding annotations
added. This prevents a backtrace from being printed within
the function and if a division by 0 occurs. Add the annotations.

Why this phony fnend+fnstart here?
If a division by 0 occurs, we need to be able to access the saved LR on
the stack which is setup right before calling the __div0 function. This
can't go at the top of __do_div64 because if we try to do a backtrace from
within __do_div64 the annotation won't be correct as the LR was never
saved on the stack.
I suppose the debug infrastructure always assume the same stack frame 
for the whole function, hence you can't put that .pad and .save right 
before the call to __div0 without the .fnstart and have it effective 
only there?

If so then:
