Use array_size() helper instead of the open-coded version in
copy_to_user(). These sorts of multiplication factors need
to be wrapped in array_size().

Thanks for your patch.

Not sure why avoiding size_t overflows would make this code safer.
init_ents contains PAGE_SIZE bytes...

BTW

Is @entries guaranteed to be a power of two ?

Yes.

This function seems to either copy one chunk ( <= PAGE_SIZE),
or a number of full pages.

Exactly. No remainder handling is needed, for the reason you mentioned 
above.
