So, I'll drop this patch for v2 and keep things unchanged. Actually do bitmap_full/empty() calls make any sense at all? The result is stale since bitmaps are designed to do locked operations. If you have a lock covering the bitmap then you should be using something that uses non-locked accesses. Rightly or wrongly that isn't the bitmap api.
