"Simplifies", not sure about that, but ok, maybe.

For the "bm_set_full_words_within_one_page", I disagree.
I think it is more cpu cache friendly to hweight_long then set to ~0UL
each word in turn, than to first bitmap_weight() all words, then
bitmap_fill() all words.

Thanks,

BTW, you swapped names and email addresses of phil and me.  Are those
listed incorrectly somewhere, or was that just a mishap on your part?
