When using hbitmap_alloc_with_data, must the user pass in all 0 data, or
do you do a one-time slow pass over the passed-in data to populate the
remaining layers of the hbitmap to allow faster traversal later?

Based on the implementation, you aren't inspecting the contents of data.

But this documentation didn't mention that the caller must pass in all 0s.
