vmemmap_populate() attempts to report the used index and total size of
vmemmap_table, but it wrongly shifts the total size so that it is
always shown as 0.

It's not the total, size, it's the total number of chunks that
the area supports.

So it's trying to say:

	entry=${NUM_CHUNKS}/${MAX_CHUNKS}

So I think the printk statement is correct and if you check
you'll find that every other vmemmap supporting platform
has this same printk statement.

Nevermind, Ben's patch is right, I'll apply it.

VMEMMAP_SIZE is number of entries, not a size in bytes.

Further confusing things is that before the VMEMMAP_SIZE
bug fix the other month, the calculation was "correct"
:-)
