As i mentioned earlier, the set api is basically meant for the incoming
VM, the resize will initialize the incoming VM's bitmap to all 0xFF's
and as there won't be any bitmap allocated initially on the incoming VM,
therefore, the bitmap copy will not do anything and the clear_bit later
will clear the incoming VM's bits as per the input.
