That diffstat is certainly nice. Do you also have numbers for the
size of the generated code, and do you know if there is a
measurable performance difference? Have you tested whether the new and
old code give the same results, also in corner cases?
Some remarks inline below.

Please don't duplicate min/max macros. kernel.h already provides everything you need.

Having two parameters called end and start appearing in that
order is slightly confusing. Why not keep the name 'size' for
end, or maybe 'nbits' to make the unit clear. Also, I think flags
should just be a bool and maybe renamed to something more meaningful.

The previous versions handled this, but your code will always access
the word at addr[start/BITS_PER_LONG]. Are you sure no caller ever
passes start >= size?

I'm afraid this is wrong. It doesn't take garbage bits in the last
(partial) word into account. You either need to loop over the full
words and handle the last separately, masking off the garbage bits, or
wrap min(, size) around the above expression, just as you've done in
_find_next_bit. I think I prefer the latter.
Does anyone use insane size bitmaps with 2^32 bits or more? If so,
you'd have to watch out for overflow and use unsigned long for idx.

The same of course applies here.

Nit: There's no reason to break that line.

Again, no reason to break the line.

I'm assuming you only compile-tested this on little-endian. The o
wants to be a 0.
