+ * ap_hex2bitmap() - Convert a string containing a hexadecimal number (str)

+ * by the hex string. Input and output data is in big endian order.
+ *
+ * str - Input hex string of format "0x1234abcd". The leading "0x" is optional.

+ * bitmap - Pointer to a bitmap. Upon successful completion of this function,
+ * this bitmap will have bits set to match the value of str. If bitmap is longer
+ * than str, then the rightmost bits of bitmap are padded with zeros. Must be
+ * large enough to hold the number of bits represented by the bits parameter.
+ *
+ * bits - Length, in bits, of the bitmap represented by str. Must be a multiple
+ * of 8.
+ *
+ * Returns: 0		On success
+ *	    -EINVAL	If str format is invalid or bits is not a multiple of 8.
