While your project is clearly research-oriented, it is planned within PostgreSQL development process. Can you please add some information about which patches are your going to put on commitfest?
Also, please plan to review one or more patches. This is important for integrating into community.

BTW, there is somewhat related IntegerSet data structure added recently [0]. In my version it was implemented as radix tree. I think it is a good example how generic data structure can be presented and then reused by BufferManager.

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
