Current DEFAULT_RAM_SIZE(128MB) enforced by QEMU would not work for all machines. Introduce a default_ram_size as part of MachineClass.
The below patches has following behaviour: 1) If the user does not provide "-m" option, machine's default ram size will be picked. 2) The default behaviour of "-m" is not changed On the side note, there are other cleanup of removing ram_size, slots and maxmem from vl.c. All these are being parsed by generic code. This can be moved to machine specific property. I will take a stab at it next.
