I have my own emulation based on 64bit uint in HI, LO configuration for
performing modulo operations specific to my requirements and it's much
faster than native 128bit modulo operations.  I tried to do the three 64bit
modulo operations required for emulating 128bit modulo using avx intrinsics
but it turns out there are no integer division built_ins in gcc, let alone
modulo operations. No wonder modulo operations are slow!!
