Yes, but using bitmap_zero(bitmap, PORTS_PER_CHAIN) is faster.

It generates 4 machine instructions,
	movq   $0x0,(%r10)
	movq   $0x0,0x8(%r10)
	movq   $0x0,0x10(%r10)
	movq   $0x0,0x18(%r10)

while bitmap_zero(bitmap, some_non_constant_expression) is more
expensive (it calls an out of line function)

Hmm, please always use the latest kernel before sending patches.

Thanks
