In many places we store bitmap info in a chunk of data (pointed to by a char *), and have redundant codes to set/unset bits. This patch extends virBitmap, and convert those codes to use virBitmap in subsequent patches. ---

The name 'size2' isn't very descriptive. Maybe we should rename to s/size/max_bit/ and s/size2/map_len/ for easier reading?
If you go with the rename idea, then I'd split this into two patches - one that introduces the new field and names and retrofits all existing functions, but adds no new code other than the use of the new field; and the second that only adds the new functions. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
