macro: add DIV_ROUND_UP()
This macro calculates A / B but rounds up instead of down. We explicitly do *NOT* use: (A + B - 1) / A as it suffers from an integer overflow, even though the passed values are properly tested against overflow. Our test-cases show this behavior. Instead, we use: A / B + !!(A % B) Note that on "Real CPUs" this does *NOT* result in two divisions. Instead, instructions like idivl@x86 provide both, the quotient and the remainder. Therefore, both algorithms should perform equally well (I didn't verify this, though).
