The bitmap_scnprintf works fine. Yes, it's really better than original 'strbuf' way, thanks!

BTW, I added "Co-developed-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>" in v3, but the patch checking shows the 
warning:

WARNING: Co-developed-by and Signed-off-by: name/email do not match
#76:
Co-developed-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

I'm not sure if this warning is important or not, but anyway I add the line to v3. Thanks for your 
help！
