[kvm-devel] qemu option parsing error.

[John C. <jcl...@st...>]

It appears the qemu in KVM-51 has a weird glitch where it will ignore
the '-m' memory parameter if it's the first parameter on the command
line (the case 'QEMU_OPTION_m' stanza never gets called in
qemu/hw/vl.c:main()).  A quick look at the code doesn't reveal anything
obvious to me as to why.  Putting some other parameter first (like
'-hda') works just fine.  This doesn't happen with the current qemu
cvs. 

i.e.:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda test.img  == 128MB ram in VM.
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda test.img -m 512  == 512MB ram in VM.
