The 'extern' keyword doesn't have any benefits in header files. Remove it.

Why not

int __bitmap_equal(const unsigned long *bitmap1, const unsigned long *bitmap2,
                   unsigned int nbits);

and so on?

It's even in 80 limit.
I feel like this is purely a matter of taste. No rules define exactly
how the lines should be broken. I prefer the longer part to be below,
it just looks better to my eyes.
In above case it's even logically better to split as I proposed.
