Use 'bitmap_zalloc()' to simplify code, improve the semantic and avoid some
open-coded arithmetic in allocator arguments.

Also change the corresponding 'kfree()' into 'bitmap_free()' to keep
consistency.

Use 'bitmap_copy()' to avoid an explicit 'memcpy()'

Oh, I see there's been further discussion on this to avoid relying
implicitly on the size of the bitmap being rounded to the size of an
unsigned long. I think a new version is expected then?

Thanks, Roger.


Yes, I'll send a patch in order to add a 'bitmap_size()'
I'll update this patch when/if it is merged.

You can drop it for now.
