The explicit check would be:

test_thread_flag(TIF_ADDR32) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE_MAX

which is the same as TASK_SIZE.

Or, do we want a new macro?

#define IBT_BITMAP_SIZE (test_thread_flag(TIF_ADDR32) ? \
(IA32_PAGE_OFFSET / PAGE_SIZE / BITS_PER_BYTE) : \
(TASK_SIZE_MAX / PAGE_SIZE / BITS_PER_BYTE))
