I thought you got nightmares from global locks :-)

Why a bitmap allocator and not a heap allocator?
Also, looking at the lock usage, this thing is not IRQ safe, so it
should not be called from hardirq context. Please document this.

Like said in the previous mail (which due to creative mailing from your
end never made it out to the lists), I dislike those shouting macros.
Please lowercase them.
