It seems like this is mostly taken care of by migrating arm to use the
generic implementations, but I just want to cover our basis here.

Are we okay with adding the contract find_*_bit() operations must handle
asking for past size properly? FWIW, we'd have to modify most of the
iterators in find.h.
