[Qemu-devel] [PULL v2 1/7] pc: fix qemu exiting with error when -m X < 128 with old machines types

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

From: Igor Mammedov <address@hidden>

If machine doesn't support memory hotplug then staring QEMU
with initial memory less than default will make QEMU exit with
following error message:

$QEMU -m 16  -M isapc
qemu-system-i386: "-memory 'slots|maxmem'" is not supported by: isapc

Set maxram_size to initial memory value before parsing
'maxmem' option allows to keep maxmem in sync with initial
memory size if no maxmem option was specified.
