Isn't all this code just using the wrong function.
Shouldn't they be using ffz() (or whatever it is called)
to find the first zero in a numeric argument rather that
find_first_zero_bit() which is intended for large bitmaps.

Perhaps the type for 'large bitmaps' should be:
struct {
unsigned long bitmap_bits[0];
} bitmap;
rather than unsigned long[].
