Just want to double check: Should I go ahead and commit it?
Or you want think this over?

The only user- and kernel-land friendly solution will be to
reimplement bit_alloc() as bit_alloc(bits, type, flags).
Arguments 'type' and 'flags' will be unused in userland and for
userland-only application we can provide bit_ualloc(bits)
or something. But this looks a bit hackish.
