Can you...
divide the high 32 by divisor, shift the quotient and remainder 32 bits
left, add the low 32 to the shifted remainder, divide again, and sum the
quotient with the shifted quotient?  (Hope I got the terms right!)

Obviously, there's a potential overflow when summing the shifted remainder
and the low 32 bits.
