The patch Nathan send did not work. It computed the 
same values as the original code 
Attached is the "xscale folks" code patch originated 
from Greg Ungreger which solves the problem.

Sebastin, Can you try this patch

There was a patch floating around, you sent me a copy, I do not have
it handy. I responded on 3/11/04 with some suggestions about changing
the old code to be more compiler friendly. I stress, the code in the
tree is correct. I think the patch originated with Greg Ungerer from
what I can see via google.

If you are using the patch Nathan sent out here:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/linux-xfs/2004-03/msg00193.html

Then it should be OK. I have no idea what the current
"xscale folks" code does.
