Are you sure entries_per_group can be more than 32 bits?
It looks like something that will be the same size on 32 and 64bit.

You don't need the full 64 by 64 divide.
IIRC there are both div_u64_u32() and div_u64_ulong().

NILFD_BMAP_GROUP_DIV is 8 (and probably has to be a power of 2).
So:
	index = bmap->b_inode->i_ino & (NILFS_BMAP_GROUP_DIV - 1);
is the same and likely much faster to calculate.
(The compiler will have done that optimisation before.)
