Right, thinko. How about using his:

+	int pages = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, PAGE_SIZE);
+	int bitmap_size = BITS_TO_LONGS(pages) * BYTES_PER_LONG;

to also allow for size not an integer number of pages as Andrew noticed? 
This could be done in 2 patches:

---
Introduce BYTES_PER_LONG and remove local definitions. fbsys 
compile-tested, amifb untested (framebuffer maintainer cc'ed)...
