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

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.
