Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] bitmap: cleanup bitmap_*_region() implementation

bitmap_{allocate,find_free,release}_region() functions are implemented
on top of _reg_op() machinery. It duplicates existing generic functionality
with no benefits. In fact, generic alternatives may work even better
because they optimized for small_const_nbits() case and overall very well
optimized for performance and code generation.

This series drops _reg_op() entirely.

v2:
 - fix declaration order (patch6);
 - fix kernel-doc varnings;
 - don't use 'drop' wording where (patches 2-4);

Yury Norov (6):
  bitmap: fix opencoded bitmap_allocate_region()
  bitmap: replace _reg_op(REG_OP_ALLOC) with bitmap_set()
  bitmap: replace _reg_op(REG_OP_RELEASE) with bitmap_clear()
  bitmap: replace _reg_op(REG_OP_ISFREE) with find_next_bit()
  bitmap: drop _reg_op() function
  bitmap: move bitmap_*_region functions to bitmap.h
