Isn't the type of divisor in div_u64() u32?
Since entries_per_group cannot exceed 32 bits according to the current
specification, I think using div_u64() is fine.

Yes, indeed.  It seems that the application of optimizations will
change, so this proposed correction is better.

Since NILFS_BMAP_GROUP_DIV is a fixed constant and cannot be anything
other than a power of 2, could you please adopt this proposed
correction with the following comment?

#define NILFS_BMAP_GROUP_DIV    8  /* must be a power of 2 */
