  So actually if you look at this function, you see that it counts bits in
map->b_data. That is guaranteed to be long aligned pointer so there's no
need for your memweight(). bitmap_weight() would be enough, especially
given that it can handle number of bits which is not a multiple of
BITS_PER_LONG.

  For ext3 it's the same BTW.
