Hi Al,

Thank you very much for your suggestions!

I have included the function ffs() and  renamed namx to name (where possible), 
and inodx to inumber.

You can see that kmalloc was suppressed already in my former release
v3_6dot17-rc3-3.diff few days ago.

The apparent complication in bitmap.c is that I have kept the architecture
dependent operations within the range of 1K size to avoid unexpected trouble in
some of them.

Regards,

Daniel
