Right, I don't need this struct member. Again I can just use this macro 
directly.

Well spotted. I should have questioned more why they had >>3 previously.

But I would rather keep as a bitmap, i.e. *unsigned long for simplicity.

I think it's ok as it uses bitmap_zalloc()

As above, I'd rather keep as a bitmap. It's a little inefficient, but is 
a one off in the driver.
