Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Bitmap optimisations

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>

These three bitmap patches use more efficient specialisations when the
compiler can figure out that it's safe to do so.  Thanks to Rasmus'
eagle eyes, a nasty bug in v1 was avoided, and I've added a test case
which would have caught it.

Matthew Wilcox (4):
  test_bitmap: Add optimisation tests
  bitmap: Optimise bitmap_set and bitmap_clear of a single bit
  Turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible
  bitmap: Use memcmp optimisation in more situations
