On 32-bit Atom, I was able to get an improvement from 116ms to 113ms
running an empty program linked with a .so produced using the attached
script. This is probably roughly best-case improvement, so the umod
stuff is probably not likely to be worthwhile unless/until we can
improve the areas that are currently dominating the runtime. That's
rather disappointing, but maybe we can improve enough other stuff for
it to make sense to do the umod optimization.
