I'm not saying it should or shouldn't (actually you need to prove that
with some test cases added). What I'm saying is that this code is a
hack because of a layering violation. We do not dereference bitmaps
with direct access. Even in your code you have bitmap_zero() followed
by this hack. Why do you call that bitmap_zero() in the first place if
you are so sure everything will be okay? So either you stick with
bitops / bitmap APIs or drop all of them and use POD types and bit
wise ops.

Same as above.

Yes.
