The bluetooth code uses our bitmap infrastructure for the two bits (!) of connection setup flags, and in the process causes odd problems when it converts between a bitmap and just the regular values of said bits. It's completely pointless to do things like bitmap_to_arr32() to convert a bitmap into a u32. It shoudln't have been a bitmap in the first place. The reason to use bitmaps is if you have arbitrary number of bits you want to manage (not two!), or if you rely on the atomicity guarantees of the bitmap setting and clearing. The code could use an "atomic_t" and use "atomic_or/andnot()" to set and clear the bit values, but considering that it then copies the bitmaps around with "bitmap_to_arr32()" and friends, there clearly cannot be a lot of atomicity requirements. So just use a regular integer. In the process, this avoids the warnings about erroneous use of bitmap_from_u64() which were triggered on 32-bit architectures when conversion from a...
