I can't think of a machine that doesn't. The only machine language
manuals on my desk (68000 and HPC16083) show this instruction.
If anyone knows of a machine that doesn't leave the remainder in
a register, I would be interested in knowing of it. Such a machine
either throws the remainder away or uses some algorithm besides
shift-and-subtract. (for instance hard-wired.)
