At the moment, the user can specify the amount of RAM a virtual machine
has, which starts at the fixed address ARM_MEMORY_AREA. The memory below
this address is used by MMIO and PCI devices.

However, it might be interesting to specify a different starting address
for the guest RAM. With this patch, the user can specify the address and
the amount of RAM a virtual machine has from the command line by using the
syntax -m/--mem size[@addr]. The address is optional, and must be higher or
equal to ARM_MEMORY_AREA. If it's not specified, the old behavior is
preserved.

This option is guarded by the define ARCH_SUPPORT_CFG_RAM_BASE, and at
the moment only the arm architecture has support for it. If an
architecture doesn't implement this feature, then the old behavior is
preserved and specifying the RAM base address is considered an user
error.

This patch is based upon previous work by Julien Grall.

At this time, we have kvm->arch.memory_guest_start set. Even though they
both might be the same, I think kvm->arch.memory_guest_start is safer
here.

Could we use "memory base address" to be explicit ?

Given that we only support this option for archs who opt-in, could we
keep the "help" message consistent with what is built ?

#ifdef ARCH_SUPPORT_CFG_RAM_BASE
#define MEM_OPT_HELP_SHORT	"size[@addr]"
#define MEM_OPT_HELP_DESC	\
	"Virtual machine memory size in MB, optionally start at <addr>"
#else
#define MEM_OPT_HELP_SHORT	"size"
#define MEM_OPT_HELP_DESC	"Virtual machine memory size in MB."

#endif

Or some other means, so that the help text is consistent with what
we build.

Rest looks fine to me.
