DIV and DIVU perform an XLEN bits by XLEN bits signed and unsigned
integer division of _rs1_ by _rs2_, rounding towards zero. REM and REMU
provide the remainder of the corresponding division operation. For REM,
-the sign of the result equals the sign of the dividend.
+the sign of a nonzero result equals the sign of the dividend.
