Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH for 2.6 0/3] Bitmap clean-up patches for 2.6

Hi Fam!

Thanks for it, I really like the idea about dropping granularity from 
hbitmap. I've waste lots of time understanding the code about bitmaps. 
Keeping in mind what units are in what granularity and what granularity 
is in what units is more than inconvenient)
