Maybe I'm missing something here.
I couldn't find leul_to_cpu(), so have defined it in bswap.h.
Correct?

Combining all comments, the code would be like this.
     
 if (bitmap_ul[i] != 0) {
     c = leul_to_cpu(bitmap_ul[i]);
     do {
         j = ffsl(c) - 1;
         c &= ~(1ul << j);
         page_number = i * HOST_LONG_BITS + j;
         addr1 = page_number * TARGET_PAGE_SIZE;
         addr = offset + addr1;
         ram_addr = cpu_get_physical_page_desc(addr);
         cpu_physical_memory_set_dirty(ram_addr);
     } while (c != 0);
 }
