I checked with 'round_up'. I am getting the same values as I was
getting with 'roundup'.
I have checked with different clump tests.
Moreover, wherever the 'space' was being evaluated as 64, in the case
of 'roundup', it is also getting evaluated to the same value (of 64),
in case of 'round_up' also.

Further below ...

Yes, you are right, when the 'start' is '0', then 'space' will be 64
(on arch where BITS_PER_LONG is 64).
But actually I want this to happen. I need 'space' to hold value 64
when 'start' is '0'. The reason is as follows:

Taking the example of bitmap_set_value(). If the nbits is 16 (as
example) and 'start' is zero, The 'if' condition will be executed
inside bitmap_set_value() when 'start' is zero because space(64) >=
nbits(16) is true. This 'if' condition is for the case when nbits
falls completely into the first word and the nbits doesn't have to
divide itself into another higher word of the bitmap.

This is what should happen according to me. If space is less than 64,
lets say 63 or 62, then it will not correctly indicate the remaining
space for nbits to fill in (bitmap_set_value) or to extract from
(bitmap_get_value).

Kindly let me know If I have misunderstood something. Thanks !
