This now causes -Wtype-limits warnings in linux-next with gcc-10:

The compiler clearly tries to do range-checking here and notices
that the index into the fixed-length array on the stack is not correctly
bounded. It seems this would happen whenever width[0] + width[1]
is larger than 64.

I have just submitted patches for all other -Wtype-limits warnings
and would like to enable this option by default. Can you try to find
a way to make this code safer? I would expect that you need a
variant of bitmap_set_value() that takes an explicit ceiling here,
and checks the stand and nbits values against that.
