You are right. I didn't notice this while I was refactoring the code. 
Ritesh,
could you update your patch and simply replace all references of 
mapping->size
with (mapping->bits << PAGE_SHIFT), probably with some temporary variable to
make the code easier to understand? I've didn't apply your patch yet.
