Please don't touch vgamem_mb on cirrus.  The only reason we have this
property in the first place is live migration compatibility (default vga
mem used to be 8MB, but is 16 MB on recent machine types).

So you are saying that we should not allow setting the 'vgamem_mb' for
cirrus?

Yes.

  Is there any reason for that?

We mimic real hardware, and video memory isn't configurable there.  That
we have 8 and 16 mb variants in the first place is not correct, the only
reason we still have that is fixing it breaks live migration.

cheers,
   Gerd

Ok, in that case we will continue ignoring the vram settings for cirrus.
