Interesting... I'll try to read the patch later.

I have to admit, I do not really understand what this bitmap can actually
buy after a quick glance. It is only a hint afaics, and obviously it is
not accurate. alloc_local_tag() never clears the bit, tag_free()->set_bit()
is racy, etc. I guess this is fine, just this doesn't look clear.

But the code looks correct, just a couple of minor nits, feel freee to
ignore.

This can probably go to .c, and it seems that TAG_MAX is not needed.
tag_init() can check "nr_tags >= TAG_FAIL" instead.

bitmap_weight(pool->cpus_have_tags, pool->nr_tags).

Both branches clear remote->nr_free.
