You pass a pointer to an unsigned long for the page-size bitmap. This
allows to use an array of unsigned long. But a single unsigned long is
sufficient and you can use functions like ffs() and fls() together with
shifting. These functions often translate to a single intruction in the
binary. The find_next_bit function has much more overhead because it
needs to handle the array-of-ulong case.
