I like the idea. But in following patches you switch to new API only
couple of drivers. I think, it worth to switch more, especially core
users to make new API visible for developers. Brief grepping for
candidates showse only 17 suspected places:
yury:linux$ git grep BITS_TO_LONGS | grep alloc | grep -v drivers | grep -v arch
kernel/events/uprobes.c:1188:	area->bitmap = kzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(UINSNS_PER_PAGE) * sizeof(long), GFP_KERNEL);
kernel/sysctl.c:3004:		tmp_bitmap = kzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(bitmap_len) * sizeof(unsigned long),
lib/genalloc.c:188:				BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(long);
lib/test_printf.c:378:	unsigned long *bits = kcalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits), sizeof(long), GFP_KERNEL);
mm/percpu.c:1109:	chunk->alloc_map = memblock_virt_alloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(region_bits) *
mm/percpu.c:1111:	chunk->bound_map = memblock_virt_alloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(region_bits + 1) *
mm/percpu.c:1170:	chunk->alloc_map = pcpu_mem_zalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(region_bits) *
mm/percpu.c:1175:	chunk->bound_map = pcpu_mem_zalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(region_bits + 1) *
mm/slub.c:3668:	unsigned long *map = kzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(page->objects) *
mm/slub.c:4435:	unsigned long *map = kmalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(oo_objects(s->max)) *
mm/slub.c:4596:	unsigned long *map = kmalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(oo_objects(s->max)) *

net/bridge/br_vlan.c:836:	changed = kcalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(BR_MAX_PORTS), sizeof(unsigned long),
net/mac80211/mesh_plink.c:465:	aid_map = kcalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(IEEE80211_MAX_AID + 1),
net/sched/cls_u32.c:737:	unsigned long *bitmap = kzalloc(BITS_TO_LONGS(NR_U32_NODE) * sizeof(unsigned long),
tools/include/linux/bitmap.h:105:	return calloc(1, BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(unsigned long));
