Hello, Andy! I know about DECLARE_BITMAP(), it is a very useful macro
for bitmaps that are over 32 bits, which is absolutely not the case
here. This macro will make code more difficult to read and then we will
have to use the bitmap API, which is unnecessary overhead for this case,
and thus, it won't be an improvement anymore, IMO.

I'd either keep this patch as-is or drop it.
