Well, the construction I used:
	DECLARE_BITMAP(foo, 64);
	...
	bitmap_from_u64(foo, init_value);
	...
can be found in several places in the kernel.

Having the DEFINE_BITMAP_64() macro can be a way to remove this
construction but I am not sure that this should be done in this
series.

IMHO, a specific series introducing the macro and updating pieces of
code in the kernel everywhere it is needed to replace this construction
would make much more sense.


Best regards,
Hervé
