From 95d4283bb4284ffb463bde3670d80d06cf96c151 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keir Fraser Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2008 13:23:59 +0100 Subject: ioemu: Do not pass -m (memory) option to qemu, as ioemu-remote rejects memory sizes greater than 2GB when built as a 32-bit binary. Instead, direct HVM Linux loading approximates end of low memory via a different method.
