Why is there a 64-bit division at all?

Not sure. Might be platform specific.
Maybe, because you add two integers and divide by an integer, that the
compiler then chooses to use 64-bit integer division by 32-bit integer.

Actually, I think the real issue is that
arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile defines "static" to nothing when
compiling its copy of lib/fonts/font_acorn_8x8.c (via font.c), so that
the font array is available outside of the object file. I assume that
this causes various unused static inline functions in the headers it
includes (such as <linux/math.h>) to be included in the object file
because they become normal inline functions.
