Atomic operations (i.e. set_bit and clear_bit) on the bitmaps may access two cache lines (a.k.a. split lock) and lock the bus to block all memory accesses from other processors to ensure atomicity. To avoid the overall performance degradation from the bus locking, align the two variables to unsigned long. Defining the variables as unsigned long may also fix the issue because they are naturally aligned to unsigned long. But that needs additional code changes. Adding __aligned(unsigned long) is a simpler fix.
