Now what's the plan ?
Andy, do you want to send a v2 of this patch or may I get the patch, modify it
according to reviews already present in v1 and integrate it in my current
series ?  

I would like to do that, but under pile of different things.
I would try my best but if you have enough time and motivation feel free
to take over, address the comments and integrate in your series.

I dunno what to do with bitmap_onto(), perhaps in a separate patch we can
replace it with bitmap_scatter() (IIUC) with explanation that the former
1) uses atomic ops while being non-atomic as a whole, and b) having quite
hard to get documentation. At least that's how I see it, I mean that I would
like to leave bitmap_onto() alone and address it separately.

I will take the Andy's bitmap_{scatter,gather}() patch in my next iteration.
And use bitmap_{scatter,gather}() in my code.

For bitmap_onto() replacement, nothing will be done in my next iteration as
it is out of this series scope.
