  I have run guests in 64MB of memory, so 256 as an arbitrary limit sounds
way too high to me. There is some places in libvirt code where 64 is the limit
(e.g. xend_parse_sexp_desc() if ((cur_mem > 63) && (cur_mem != max_mem)) ...)
so if we set a limit here too that should be homogenized (using a constant
in internal.h preferably).
