The VMBUS_RING_SIZE macro adds space for a ring buffer header to the
requested ring buffer size.  The header size is always 1 page, and so
its size varies based on the PAGE_SIZE for which the kernel is built.
If the requested ring buffer size is a large power-of-2 size and the header
size is small, the resulting size is inefficient in its use of memory.
For example, a 512 Kbyte ring buffer with a 4 Kbyte page size results in
a 516 Kbyte allocation, which is rounded to up 1 Mbyte by the memory
allocator, and wastes 508 Kbytes of memory.

In such situations, the exact size of the ring buffer isn't that important,
and it's OK to allocate the 4 Kbyte header at the beginning of the 512
Kbytes, leaving the ring buffer itself with just 508 Kbytes. The memory
allocation can be 512 Kbytes instead of 1 Mbyte and nothing is wasted.

Update VMBUS_RING_SIZE to implement this approach for "large" ring buffer
sizes.  "Large" is somewhat arbitrarily defined as 8 times the size of
the ring buffer header (which is of size PAGE_SIZE).  For example, for
4 Kbyte PAGE_SIZE, ring buffers of 32 Kbytes and larger use the first
4 Kbytes as the ring buffer header.  For 64 Kbyte PAGE_SIZE, ring buffers
of 512 Kbytes and larger use the first 64 Kbytes as the ring buffer
header.  In both cases, smaller sizes add space for the header so
the ring size isn't reduced too much by using part of the space for
the header.  For example, with a 64 Kbyte page size, we don't want
a 128 Kbyte ring buffer to be reduced to 64 Kbytes by allocating half
of the space for the header.  In such a case, the memory allocation
is less efficient, but it's the best that can be done.

While the new algorithm slightly changes the amount of space allocated
for ring buffers by drivers that use VMBUS_RING_SIZE, the devices aren't
known to be sensitive to small changes in ring buffer size, so there
shouldn't be any effect.
