Have you considered replacing count with maxno?

I'd make it unsigned.

For consistency cma_clear_bitmap would make more sense I think.  On the
other hand, you're just moving stuff around so perhaps renaming the
function at this point is not worth it any more.

bitmap_maxno is never used again, perhaps:

+	int bitmap_size = BITS_TO_LONGS(cma_bitmap_maxno(cma)) * sizeof(long);

instead? Up to you.
