If start == end is legal,

   for (; start < end; start = (start | (IDA_BITMAP_BITS - 1)) + 1) {

makes this loop do nothing because 10 < 10 is false.

I think that

+	else if (__builtin_constant_p(start) && IS_ALIGNED(start, 8) &&
+		 __builtin_constant_p(nbits) && IS_ALIGNED(nbits, 8))

is more readable.
