TASK_SIZE_MAX is likely needed here, as an application can easily switch
between long an 32-bit protected mode.  And then the case of a CPU that
doesn't support 5LPT.

Shouldn't bitmap be unmapped here?

In a hypothetical situation of bitmap & PAGE_MASK < bitmap that would lead
to bitmap pointing to unmapped memory. A check that bitmap is sane would
probably be better.
