pci bar size must be a power of two.  Especially the 9216 default value
libvirt fills in there is *not* valid.  This probably needs some extra
care to handle so existing guest xml files don't blow up things.

Default value for QXL is 64MB in libvirt, the 9MB is for other video
devices. But we can probably add a special check for QXL device to
ensure that ram or vram size is power of 2.

For stdvga and vmware vga it must be a power of two too.

cheers,
   Gerd

We cannot just start enforcing that the vram attribute should be power
of 2. We can ether silently modify the value from user to power of 2 or
let QEMU round the value up to nearest power of 2 value and just add
a note about this to documentation.
