QEMU has validations to make sure that a VM is not started with more memory (static and hotpluggable memory) than what the guest processor can address directly with its addressing bits. This change adds a test to make sure QEMU fails to start with a specific error message when an attempt is made to start a VM with more memory than what the processor can directly address. The test also checks for passing cases when the address space of the processor is capable of addressing all memory. Boundary cases are tested.
