This patch fixes a bug found by Avi during the review process
of my dirty bitmap related work.
To ppc and ia64 people:
The fix is really simple but touches all architectures using
dirty bitmaps. So please check this will not suffer your part.
===
Int is not long enough to store the size of a dirty bitmap.
This patch fixes this problem with the introduction of a wrapper
function to calculate the sizes of dirty bitmaps.
Note: in mark_page_dirty(), we have to consider the fact that
__set_bit() takes the offset as int, not long.

Applied, thanks.
Thanks everyone!
BTW, just from my curiosity, are there any cases in which we use such huge
number of pages currently?
ALIGN(memslot->npages, BITS_PER_LONG) / 8;
More than G pages need really big memory!
-- We are assuming some special cases like "short" int size?
If so, we may have to care about a lot of things from now on, because common
functions like __set_bit() don't support such long buffers.
If not, my patch might be over hacking -- especially the following part:
