Yes, the first argument to the comparison function used in bsearch() is
a pointer to some element in the array. I just meant that that array is
the bitmap_git->table_lookup region, so each element isn't actually a
uint32_t array, but the whole thing is an array of (uint32_t, uint64_t,
uint32_t) triplets.
What you wrote here is fine, and I don't even think that the comment
needs updating. If you did want to clarify, I think you could say
something along the lines of what you wrote above ("`va` is a pointer to
an array element") and add something along the lines of "where the array
is the lookup table region of the .bitmap".

Ah, I wasn't aware that our callers are graceful enough to handle this
like that. Yes, if we can fallback gracefully, we should, so I think
just error()-ing here (and above) is the right choice. Thanks for saying
so.
Thanks,
