Can you use __bitmap_replace() here? I think it would be clearer to use the
bitmap API wherever possible, since casting 'unsigned long *' to 'u8 *'
just makes me worry about endianness issues (although in this case I don't
hink it's a problem).

Maybe stick the & ~ASID_MASK here so it's easier to read?

That's quite a generic symbol name to export... maybe throw 'arm64_' in
front of it?

I don't think you need the masking here.

Same naming comment here.

Is it worth checking that assumption, rather than setting max_pinned_asids
to a massive value?

Why can't we continue in this case without support for pinned ASIDs?
