True. Minor correction:
- b2 = (~b0 == 0 ? b0 : b1);
- ofs = (~b0 == 0 ? 0 : 64);
+ b2 = (~b0 ? b0 : b1);
+ ofs = (~b0 ? 0 : 64);

Note that comment for this function is a bit confusing:
* ... It's the fastest
* way of searching a 168-bit bitmap where the first 128 bits are
* unlikely to be set.

Agreed. Apparently asm/bitops.h?
