Allocating RAM for the emulated machine is perhaps the only
scenario where a core dump is indeed not reasonable. In most
other cases, out-of-memory is an indication of a QEMU internal
problem, so a core dump should be written.
Allocating guest memory could fail and we should give a reasonable
error and exit with a failure. I think this might be the one case
where we *do* want to handle memory allocation NULL return. In other
words, perhaps we should call memory allocating functions directly
here instead of using the typical QEMU abort-on-failure wrappers.
g_try_malloc
glib already has a suite of functions for this.
