This looks to be working but I still prefer bitmask approach as it results
in simpler code like shown below:

<------8<------------------------------------------
|  list_for_each_entry(d, &hci_dev_list, list)
|          set_bit(d->id, inuse);
|
|  id = find_first_zero_bit(inuse, PAGE_SIZE * 8);
|
<------8<------------------------------------------

Anyway I leave it to maintainers to decide.
