Regarding the nomenclature, I created the term "clump" to represent an 8-bit value that was not necessarily a byte yet was a contiguous grouping of bits. With this patchset, we now have a more generic for_each_set_clump macro that can handle values larger and smaller than 8-bits. Would it make sense to retire the term "clump" and instead use "nbits" where applicable, in order to match the existing convention used by the bitmap functions; for instance, would it be better to name this macro for_each_set_nbits?
