find_bit would also benefit from small_const_nbits() optimizations.

I still don't see the point of introducing SMALL_CONST and still don't
like the much-too-generic-name - especially since AFAICT you don't
actually use it anywhere outside the definition of small_const_nbits()?

You added another comment near its new definition, but the left-behind
comment in bitmap.h is now somewhat confusing, no? I suggest expanding
your new comment a bit so it's clear why we're interested in whether a
bitmap is known at compile-time to consist of exactly one word:

/*
small_const_nbits(n) is true precisely when it is known at compile-time
that BITMAP_SIZE(n) is 1, i.e. 1 <= n <= BITS_PER_LONG. This allows
various bit/bitmap APIs to provide a fast inline implementation. Bitmaps
of size 0 are very rare, and a compile-time-known-size 0 is most likely
a sign of error. They will be handled correctly by the bit/bitmap APIs,
but using the out-of-line functions, so that the inline implementations
can unconditionally dereference the pointer(s).

Ok, make sense
