What happens if we hit this "continue;" when "index == ULONG_MAX / IDA_BITMAP_BITS" ?

Can you eliminate exception path and fold all xbitmap patches into one, and
post only one xbitmap patch without virtio-baloon changes? If exception path
is valuable, you can add exception path after minimum version is merged.
This series is too difficult for me to close corner cases.

Won't "exclusive" loose ability to handle ULONG_MAX ? Since this is a
library module, missing ability to handle ULONG_MAX sounds like an omission.
Shouldn't we pass (or return) whether "found or not" flag (e.g. strtoul() in
C library function)?

  bool xb_find_next_set_bit(struct xb *xb, unsigned long start, unsigned long end, unsigned long *result);
  unsigned long xb_find_next_set_bit(struct xb *xb, unsigned long start, unsigned long end, bool *found);
