after closer review, I see that this is wrong. NCHUNKS isn't the
total number of page chunks, it's the total number of chunks minus the
header chunk(s). so that calculation of where the new start is, is
wrong. it should use the total page chunks, not the NCHUNKS, because
start_middle already accounts for the header chunk(s). Probably a new
macro would help.

Also, the num_free_chunks() function makes the same mistake:

int nfree_after = zhdr->last_chunks ?
0 : NCHUNKS - zhdr->start_middle - zhdr->middle_chunks;

that's wrong, it should be something like:

#define TOTAL_CHUNKS (PAGE_SIZE >> CHUNK_SHIFT)
...
int nfree_after = zhdr->last_chunks ?
0 : TOTAL_CHUNKS - zhdr->start_middle - zhdr->middle_chunks;
