Subject: [PATCH 4/8] Optimize allocations in bringetbitmap
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 00:24:33 +0100

The bringetbitmap function allocates memory for various purposes, which
may be quite expensive, depending on the number of scan keys. Instead of
allocating them separately, allocate one bit chunk of memory an carve it
into smaller pieces as needed - all the pieces have the same lifespan,
and it saves quite a bit of CPU and memory overhead.
