Subject: bitmap: bitmap_parse takes a kernel buffer instead of a user buffer
From: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.
