BTW, I don't think the old code worked as intended: the first time no
free bit is found, bit would have been ILSEL_LEVELS, and
test_and_set_bit() would have returned false, thus terminating the loop,
and continuing with an out-of-range bit value?  Hence to work correctly,
bit ILSEL_LEVELS of ilsel_level_map should have been initialized to one?
Or am I missing something?

The new code does not have that issue.

Anyway, this should probably never happen in real life.
