Hello Christophe,

'xibm->count' really looks like a number of bits (see how it is used in
__xive_irq_bitmap_alloc()), so use the bitmap API to allocate and free this
bitmap.

This improves semantic and potentially avoids some over memory allocation.

This is correct and

I don't cross compile, so this patch is NOT compile-tested.


Nathan provided a fix for it already :

Thanks,
