It makes no difference here.
The bitmap has 48 entries and is just a single 'long' on 64bit.
It is also already in a very slow path that has iterated all the
'set' bit of two bitmaps.

The code is also pretty convoluted and confusing already.
One of the other bitmaps has 64 entries, recoding using u64 would
make it a bit more readable.

Doing the 'weight' here is also just optimising for failure.

Oh, and using u8 and u16 for function parameters, return values and
maths requires extra instructions and is usually a bad idea.
