Greetings!

I don't get this on my x86_64 machines, but on ppc32 (PowerMac G4 DP) 
and on ppc64 (Talos II, POWER9) running Gentoo Linux. This dmesg snippet 
is from the G4:

Total memory = 2048MB; using 4096kB for hash table

test_bitmap: test_bitmap_write_perf:        1270153
test_bitmap: failed 1 out of 208655 tests

On QEMU (pmac32_defconfig) I get:

test_bitmap: loaded.
test_bitmap: parselist('0-2047:128/256'):	2200
test_bitmap: scnprintf("%*pbl", '0-32767'):	26440
test_bitmap: test_bitmap_read_perf:		1819760
test_bitmap: test_bitmap_write_perf:		18189840
test_bitmap: all 208655 tests passed

On QEMU with your confirm I get:

[    1.162486] test_bitmap: loaded.
[    1.177069] test_bitmap: [lib/test_bitmap.c:397] bitmaps contents

[    1.180599] test_bitmap: parselist('0-2047:128/256'):	2920

[    1.457679] test_bitmap: failed 1 out of 208655 tests

So there is something with your config

Full dmesg available at request. Kernel .config attached.
