Do you see a problem with this code ? It can be made a bitmap by
allocating it using epc->max_functions as bitmap number of bits
and that can be made on top of the code above that would go in
as a fix unless you strongly object to it, as Joe mentioned
both ffz+| and find_first_zero_bit()+set_bit() are ok with me as
long as we choose one and fix the issue.
