So with that, can we please just finally say "yeah, let's make the
generic bitmap library functions correct and usable in more cases"
instead of worrying about random micro-benchmarks that just show
you-win-some-you-lose-some.

Yes, users will have to treat results from the find routines carefully
if their bitmap may be concurrently modified. They do. Nobody wins if
those users are forced to implement their own bitmap routines for their
lockless algorithms.
