Yes, just reduce. Eliminating the window would require grabbing the
src rq lock which we want to avoid.

Yes, this is expected. We need to do a retry loop on "get" when we find
a fully set bitmap and retry. This is why I want to disable irqs in
migrate-from: to keep this retry loop done with irqs off and rq lock
held as small as possible. Disabling interrupts on the other side
achieves this.

True. I'm preparing a v5 which significantly changes things: I introduce
a lock-free get, which hopefully should help reducing contention on the
qspinlock.
