I'm still unsure it shouldn't be a part of the (not yet in upstream)
driver that I have mentioned before. But let's leave this apart right
now.

Why?
It seems you misplaced it instead of mod_devicetable.h.

Keep above sorted?

Checkpatch usually complains if locks are not commented. Looking at
the below code, why it's not an (anonymous) union?

I believe shadow should be defined as unsigned long * and hence normal
bit operations can be applied. For example here is assign_bit().

bitmap_zalloc()

Redundant as repeating parent above.

You may compress this to the 2 LoCs.
