Very minor nit: it is not clear why we are doing this check under
bc_hash_lock. I'd suggest to do

	if (!(mask & BC_ALLOC))
		goto out;

after unlock(bc_hash_lock) and kill out_unlock label.

May be it is just me, but I need a couple of seconds to parse this 'memcpy'.
How about

	*new_bc = default_beancounter;

?
