I cannot remove underlying divide without telling compiler *something* is 
unsigned,
or adding a new _SHIFT macro

We currently do

     int_value / int_constant

I was suggesting 

     int_value / uint_constant

Since you prefer to keep sk_forward_alloc as signed, 
the only clean (without casts) way is to do :

     int_value >> SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM_SHIFT

Please tell me if you are OK with this solution, or if you prefer
I change sk_forward_alloc to be unsigned :)

Thank you 

Here is the patch handling the change on sk_wmem_queued, sk_sndbuf.
Keeping small patches may help future bisection anyway...

[SOCK] Avoid integer divides where not necessary in include/net/sock.h

Because sk_wmem_queued, sk_sndbuf are signed, a divide per two
may force compiler to use an integer divide.

We can instead use a right shift.
