s/it's/its/

I find most of the passing around of bitmap positions confusing in
this patch series.  Would it make things simpler if you broke up the
bitmap into (aligned) per-ramblock chunks.  Then the offset would
determine the bitmap position, which is easier to understand since it
has an "inherent" meaning outside of the secondary data structure used
to track things.

This seems clumsy.  Surely the caller can apply the mask itself it it
wants that.
