int is not supported by many architectures, but works on x86 at least.
Hmm, could define a macro DECLARE_ATOMIC_BITMAP(maxbit) that expands to the smallest
possible type for each architecture. And a couple of ugly casts for set_bit et.al.
but those could be also hidden in macros. Should be relatively easy to do.
