Ah, you have killed a lots code there! :)

Well, when I looking through our bitmap source, I once thought if
we can replace the current code with the generic bitmap library.
However, our map is uint rather than unsigned long...
Otherwise, maybe some like find_first_bit(map, size) would be
more convenient.
