Thanks so much for fixing this: it had been quietly bugging me for a while.
This looks pretty good as is, but I have a few suggestions for
extending it which could be nice to have. I've put them inline below.
Either way,

I'd slightly prefer it if we assigned these extra parameters to a
separate variable, rather than including them directly in the
subprocess.Popen call.
(One thing I'd like to do is to print out the command we're running,
which we do for Qemu, and having it in a variable that's passed in
would be convenient. I don't expect this patch to do that, but having
these parameters separate would make that future diff a little
smaller.)

Does it make sense to also make these options UML only.
Under Qemu, the amount of memory is already passed separately to qemu,
so adding another limit here seems counterproductive. If an
architecture particularly needs it, we can add it to the
per-architecture config.
And console=tty is overridden by console=ttyS0 on x86_64 anyway, so
that also seems like it should be taken out. I tried commenting this
line out entirely, and at least x86_64 still worked.
