Since we allocate the bitmap, we can be sure that it is aligned on a
long boundary (qemu_malloc() should guarantee that). So you can
eliminate the fallback.

Better to just use the original loop here (since we don't need the
function as a fallback).

Seems like the bitmap size is also aligned as well (allocated using
BITMAP_SIZE which aligns using HOST_LONG_BITS), so this is unnecessary
as well.
