this is actually the number of plane waves in the charge density.
The number of plane waves in the wavefunction is printed at the
last iteration, together with the k-point and the Kohn-Sham eigenvalues:

           k = 0.1250 0.1250 0.1250 (   335 PWs)   bands (ev):

     -5.6039   4.6467   5.9568   5.9568

The maximum number across k-points is printed at the beginning as "npwx"
