Here in for loop the instruction "len / sizeof(compat_long_t)" is used
as a terminating condition which is executing (being computed) in every
iteration of for loop. Below is the armv7-a architecture assembly code with
similar for loop having the same instruction in condition.Note that the
instruction "lsr r3, r3, #2" i.e Logical Shift Right on behalf of
"len / sizeof(compat_long_t)" is getting executed every time the loop
iterates.

No, it is not. We compile kernel with -O2 and compiler is smart enough
to optimize such constructs.

Thanks.
