I'm struggling to understand when one would use this.  The xb_ API
requires you to handle your own locking.  But specifying GFP flags
here implies you can sleep.  So ... um ... there's no locking?

That's xb_zero() which you deleted with the previous patch ... remember,
keep things as close as possible to the bitmap API.
