Hi all,

Commit a1b18df9a4848fc8a906e40c275063bfe9ca2047 on the ppc-for-50 branch
makes qemu-system-ppc running Mac OS 9 extremely slow. I bisected to the
result below.

Command line used:
./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -boot c \
-hda 9.2.img \
-serial stdio -sdl

Best,
Howard

    vl.c: move -m parsing after memory backends has been processed

    It will be possible for main RAM to come from memory-backend
    and we should check that size specified in -m matches the size
    of the backend and [MachineState::]ram_size also matches
    backend's size.

    However -m parsing (set_memory_options()) happens before backends
    are intialized (object_create_delayed()) which complicates it.
    Consolidate set_memory_options() and assigning parsed results to
    current_machine after backends are initialized, so it would be
    possible access the initialized backend instance to compare
    sizes.

    This patch only consolidates scattered places touching ram_size
    within vl.c. And follow up patch will integrate backend handling
    to set_memory_options().
