memweight() is the function that counts the total number of bits set
in memory area.  The memory area doesn't need to be aligned to
long-word boundary unlike bitmap_weight().

  Ugh, this is ugly and mostly unnecessary. Just use "const unsigned char
*bitmap".

  This can be:
	count = ((unsigned long)bitmap) % sizeof(long);
	while (count--) {
		w += hweight(*bitmap);
		bitmap++;
		bytes--;
	}

  I find it highly unlikely that someone would have such a large bitmap
(256 MB or more on 32-bit). Also the condition as you wrote it can just
overflow so it won't have the desired effect. Just do
	BUG_ON(longs >= ULONG_MAX / BITS_PER_LONG);
and remove the loop completely. If someone comes with such a huge bitmap,
the code can be modified easily (after really closely inspecting whether
such a huge bitmap is really well justified).

The count should be the size of unaligned area and it can be greater than
bytes. So

        count = min(bytes,
                    sizeof(long) - ((unsigned long)bitmap) % sizeof(long));

The bits argument of bitmap_weight() is int type. So this should be

        BUG_ON(longs >= INT_MAX / BITS_PER_LONG);

> and remove the loop completely. If someone comes with such a huge bitmap,

size_t memweight(const void *ptr, size_t bytes)
{
	size_t w = 0;
	size_t longs;
	const unsigned char *bitmap = ptr;

	for (; bytes > 0 && ((unsigned long)bitmap) % sizeof(long);
			bytes--, bitmap++)
		w += hweight8(*bitmap);

	longs = bytes / sizeof(long);
	BUG_ON(longs >= INT_MAX / BITS_PER_LONG);
	w += bitmap_weight((unsigned long *)bitmap, longs * BITS_PER_LONG);
	bytes -= longs * sizeof(long);
	bitmap += longs * sizeof(long);

	for (; bytes > 0; bytes--, bitmap++)
		w += hweight8(*bitmap);

	return w;

  OK, I didn't check and thought it's size_t.

Why should this return size_t instead of unsigned long?

bitmap_weight copes with a bitmask that isn't a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG
in size already.  So I think this can be done as:

unsigned long memweight(const void *s, size_t n)
{
	const unsigned char *ptr = s;
	unsigned long r = 0;

	while (n > 0 && (unsigned long)ptr % sizeof(long)) {
		r += hweight8(*ptr);
		n--;
		ptr++;
	}

	BUG_ON(n >= INT_MAX / 8)

	return r + bitmap_weight((unsigned long *)ptr, n * 8);
}

I just use the same type as the bytes argument without mature
consideration.  If unsigned long is better than size_t, I'll
change the return type.

This works perfectly on little-endian machines.  But it doesn't work
on big-endian machines, if the bottom edge of memory area is not
aligned on long word boundary.
