In followup patch we want to increase the va range which will result in us requiring high_slices to have more than 64 bits. To enable this convert high_slices to bitmap. We keep the number bits same in this patch and later change that to higher value Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <redacted> ---For consistency it would be nice to have low_slices represented similarly as well.That will need converting lot of low_slices update to bitmap api with no real benefit
Consistency and not having our own bitmap implementation :) Anways, I am not too held up on it.
