This was meant to unify the flow with the __divqu assembly, which does
the above before calling DIVBYZERO. The idea was that __divqu is used
much more than __remqu, so the later should do the same as the former.

Again, this will match __divqu assembly. It looks that __divqu needs
to be fixed then.

That is true. This part is the problematic part and clobbers $f3.
Should I resend the patch only with this part fixed?

As said above, I was trying to make __remqu like __divqu, but it looks
that __divqu should be fixed in some places.
