+/**
+ * bitmap_print_bitmask_to_buf  - convert bitmap to hex bitmask format ASCII string
+ *
+ * The bitmap_print_to_pagebuf() is used indirectly via its cpumap wrapper
+ * cpumap_print_to_pagebuf() or directly by drivers to export hexadecimal
+ * bitmask and decimal list to userspace by sysfs ABI.
+ * Drivers might be using a normal attribute for this kind of ABIs. A
+ * normal attribute typically has show entry as below:
+ * static ssize_t example_attribute_show(struct device *dev,
+ * 		struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf)
+ * {
+ * 	...
+ * 	return bitmap_print_to_pagebuf(true, buf, &mask, nr_trig_max);
+ * }
+ * show entry of attribute has no offset and count parameters and this
+ * means the file is limited to one page only.
+ * bitmap_print_to_pagebuf() API works terribly well for this kind of
+ * normal attribute with buf parameter and without offset, count:
+ * bitmap_print_to_pagebuf(bool list, char *buf, const unsigned long *maskp,
+ * 			   int nmaskbits)
+ * {
+ * }
+ * The problem is once we have a large bitmap, we have a chance to get a
+ * bitmask or list more than one page. Especially for list, it could be
+ * as complex as 0,3,5,7,9,... We have no simple way to know it exact size.
+ * It turns out bin_attribute is a way to break this limit. bin_attribute
+ * has show entry as below:
+ * static ssize_t
+ * example_bin_attribute_show(struct file *filp, struct kobject *kobj,
+ * 		struct bin_attribute *attr, char *buf,
+ * 		loff_t offset, size_t count)
+ * {
+ * 	...
+ * }
+ * With the new offset and count parameters, this makes sysfs ABI be able
+ * to support file size more than one page. For example, offset could be
+ * >= 4096.
+ * bitmap_print_bitmask_to_buf(), bitmap_print_list_to_buf() wit their
+ * cpumap wrapper cpumap_print_bitmask_to_buf(), cpumap_print_list_to_buf()
+ * make those drivers be able to support large bitmask and list after they
+ * move to use bin_attribute. In result, we have to pass the corresponding
+ * parameters such as off, count from bin_attribute show entry to this API.
+ *
+ * @buf: buffer into which string is placed
+ * @maskp: pointer to bitmap to convert
+ * @nmaskbits: size of bitmap, in bits
+ * @off: in the string from which we are copying, We copy to @buf
+ * @count: the maximum number of bytes to print
+ *
+ * The role of cpumap_print_bitmask_to_buf() and cpumap_print_list_to_buf()
+ * is similar with cpumap_print_to_pagebuf(),  the difference is that
+ * bitmap_print_to_pagebuf() mainly serves sysfs attribute with the assumption
+ * the destination buffer is exactly one page and won't be more than one page.
+ * cpumap_print_bitmask_to_buf() and cpumap_print_list_to_buf(), on the other
+ * hand, mainly serves bin_attribute which doesn't work with exact one page,
+ * and it can break the size limit of converted decimal list and hexadecimal
+ * bitmask.
+ *
+ * WARNING!
+ *
+ * This function is not a replacement for sprintf() or bitmap_print_to_pagebuf().
+ * It is intended to workaround sysfs limitations discussed above and should be
+ * used carefully in general case for the following reasons:
+ *  - Time complexity is O(nbits^2/count), comparing to O(nbits) for snprintf().
+ *  - Memory complexity is O(nbits), comparing to O(1) for snprintf().
+ *  - @off and @count are NOT offset and number of bits to print.
+ *  - If printing part of bitmap as list, the resulting string is not a correct
+ *    list representation of bitmap. Particularly, some bits within or out of
+ *    related interval may be erroneously set or unset. The format of the string
+ *    may be broken, so bitmap_parselist-like parser may fail parsing it.
+ *  - If printing the whole bitmap as list by parts, user must ensure the order
+ *    of calls of the function such that the offset is incremented linearly.
+ *  - If printing the whole bitmap as list by parts, user must keep bitmap
+ *    unchanged between the very first and very last call. Otherwise concatenated
+ *    result may be incorrect, and format may be broken.
+ *
+ * Returns the number of characters actually printed to @buf
