This all looks pretty good.  The only issue is that the macro name
lengths have gotten a bit out of hand.  

For instance.  This:

#define FLEX_ARRAY_ELEMENTS_PER_PART(size)                             \
       (FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE / size)

ends up being longer in practice than just open-coding the operation:

	FLEX_ARRAY_ELEMENTS_PER_PART(fa->element_size)                      

vs.

	(FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE / fa->element_size)

and the length also ends up making for a couple of pretty ugly line
wraps.

Otherwise, this is fine with me.
