Define the ring buffer size as a constant expression because it should
not depend on the guest page size.

My understanding is that this size is pretty arbitrary and as I see you
use it for hyperv-keyboard.c as well. It may make sense to have a
define, something like HYPERV_STD_RINGBUFFER_SIZE.
Yes, the size is pretty arbitrary because it hasn't been important enough
from a memory consumption or performance standpoint to run experiments
to see if a smaller value could be used.  That said, I would not want to
link these two devices (keyboard and mouse) by using a shared ring buffer
size definition.  Logically, the ring buffer sizes are independent of each other,
and using a common #define implies that they are somehow linked.
Ok, makes sense, let's keep them separate.
