Oh well, this is obvious, just use the following and be done :

/* return interval/sqrt(x) with good precision
 */
u32 int_sqrt_div(u32 _interval, unsigned long x)
{
	u64 interval = _interval;

	/* scale for maximum precision */
	while (x < (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG - 2))) {
		x <<= 2;
		interval <<= 1;
	}
	do_div(interval, int_sqrt(x));
	return (u32)interval;
}

Doing the scaling before calling int_sqrt() makes int_sqrt() faster,
since we avoid the initial scaling on 'one'

	one = 1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG - 2);
	while (one > op)
		one >>= 2;

Always sleep a bit, its good.
