// Each word in the bitmap describes wordsPerBitmapWord words
// of heap memory. There are 4 bitmap bits dedicated to each heap word,
// so on a 64-bit system there is one bitmap word per 16 heap words.
// The bits in the word are packed together by type first, then by
// heap location, so each 64-bit bitmap word consists of, from top to bottom,
// the 16 bitMarked bits for the corresponding heap words,
// then the 16 bitScan/bitBlockBoundary bits, then the 16 bitAllocated bits.
// This layout makes it easier to iterate over the bits of a given type.
//
// The bitmap starts at mheap.arena_start and extends *backward* from
// there. On a 64-bit system the off'th word in the arena is tracked by
// the off/16+1'th word before mheap.arena_start. (On a 32-bit system,
// the only difference is that the divisor is 8.)
//
// To pull out the bits corresponding to a given pointer p, we use:
//
// off = p - (uintptr*)mheap.arena_start; // word offset
// b = (uintptr*)mheap.arena_start - off/wordsPerBitmapWord - 1;
// shift = off % wordsPerBitmapWord
// bits = *b >> shift;
// /* then test bits & bitAllocated, bits & bitMarked, etc. */
