The returned value represents now units of bytes instead of longs.
Fixes commit 11d0044a16 ("tools/libxc: Modify bitmap operations to
take void pointers").

The type of the pointer to a bitmap is not interesting; it does not affect the
representation of the block of bits being pointed to.
Make the libxc functions consistent with those in Xen, so they can work just
as well with 'unsigned int *' based bitmaps.
As part of doing so, change the implementation to be in terms of char rather
than unsigned long. This fixes alignment concerns with ARM.

All bitmaps maintained by xc_bitops.h are used in single threaded
applications. So nothing will change the bitmaps content, adding
volatile adds just unneeded memory reloads.
xenpaging uses bitmaps alot and using non-volatile versions will
slightly improve performance.

Bitmaps are used in save/restore, xenpaging and blktap2. Merge the code into a
private xc_bitops.h file. All users are single threaded, so locking is not an
issue. The array of bits is handled as volatile because the x86 save/restore
code passes the bitmap to the hypervisor which in turn modifies the bitmap.
blktap2 uses a private bitmap. There was a possible overflow in the
bitmap_size() function, the remainder was not considered.
ia64 save/restore uses a bitmap to send the number of vcpus to the host.
x86 save/restore uses a bitmap to track dirty pages. This bitmap is shared with
the hypervisor. An unused function count_bits() was removed and a new
bitmap_size() function is now used.
xenpaging uses 3 private bitmaps to track the gfns which are in paged-out
state. It had a copy of some Linux bitops.h, which is now obsolete. Also the
BITS_PER_LONG macro was hardcoded to 64 which made it impossible to run 32bit
tools on a 64bit host. Wether this works at all has to be tested, yet.
