This patch adds a simple check and error message (much like the 2047 limit on
32-bit hosts) on ram_size in the control path after we determine we're
not using kvm

Upstream qemu-kvm is affected if using the -no-kvm option; this patch address
the segfault there as well.
It looks like workarounding the real bug. At some point both
i386-softmmu (via PAE) and x86_64-softmmu were able to support>  4GB of
memory. I remember adding the support long time ago, and testing it with
32GB of emulated RAM.
Sounds like a perfect candidate for -stable then. For HEAD I agree that finding the cause would be the way to go.

No, it's wrong. A good candidate for -stable would be something that fixes the SEGV :-)
