Mystery solved. I recalled that there was some reason why the count is
specified as a signed int and thought bitmap_find_next_zero_area() was
the culprit, but now it seems that bitmap_set() was the reason.

INT_MAX would be sufficient. After all, it maps to a 8 TiB buffer (if
page is 4 KiB).
Moreover, in reality, the few places that call
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() pass a value that cannot be higher than
INT_MAX, ie. (listings heavily stripped):
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c-static void *__alloc_from_contiguous(struct device
*dev, size_t size,
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c- pgprot_t prot,
struct page **ret_page)
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c-{
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c- size_t count = size >> PAGE_SHIFT;
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous(dev, count,
order);

So I think just adding the following, should be sufficient to make
everyone happy:
diff --git a/drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c b/drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c
