What is this needed for?

A proper kerneldoc, please.

Is the conversion really necessary?

If so, then why?

And if there is a good reason, what about using right shift to do
an approximate conversion to avoid the extra division here?

Can you please explain what happens in the two lines above?

Some of the fields here are never used in the code after this patch.

Also it would be good to add a comment describing the meaning of the
fields.
