vma lookup (correction)

(correction to bound on number of nodes that could accumulate in
a single 8-bit partition of the key space):

" ...which can only happen up to a total of 256 nodes, ..."

should be

" ...which can only happen up to total of 2 to the power of
(bits_per_node_key - 8), ..."

So that still reduces the upper bound on number of vma nodes indexed by a
tree to single_avl_tree_bound/256 (same thing if the keys are 16-bit,
24-bit space if the keys are 32-bit, etc).
