What about include/linux/bitmap.h? I think we'd place it there first.

Inline is not required. Some people don't not like it. Underscored parameter in
function declaration is not the best idea as well. Try:
        static void bitmap_from_u64(unsigned long *bitmap, u64 mask)

If we start with it, I think we'd hide declaration machinery as well:

#define DECLARE_L64_BITMAP(__name) unsigned long __name[sizeof(u64)/sizeof(unsigned long)]
or
#define L64_BITMAP_SIZE (sizeof(u64)/sizeof(unsigned long))

Or both :) Whatever you prefer.

Identical comments... I'd prefer to see it in commit message, or
better in function description. For me it's pretty straightforward in
understanding what happens here in-place without comments.
