Managed to do a third git bisect  with the following results .

git bisect bad

commit 9279d3286e10736766edcaf815ae10e00856e448

     lib: bitmap: change parameter of bitmap_*_region to unsigned
     
     Changing the pos parameter of __reg_op to unsigned allows the compiler
     to generate slightly smaller and simpler code.  Also update its callers
     bitmap_*_region to receive and pass unsigned int.  The return types of
     bitmap_find_free_region and bitmap_allocate_region are still int to
     allow a negative error code to be returned.  An int is certainly capable
     of representing any realistic return value.
