    xen/x86: always consider '/' as a division in assembly
    
    On x86 GNU assembler will consider '/' as the start of comment marker for
    some ELF targets.  This is incorrect with Xen's usage, which does use '/'
    in assembly files as a mathematical operator.
    
    The behavior of the assembler can be altered by passing the --divide
    option; unconditionally pass this option when available to force the
    expected behavior.
