Description of problem:
Based on a discussion about Qemus ability to work with Guests >1TB [1] it was 
identified that it might be wise to have libvirt be able to:
  a) add a setting to the XML to specify the phys-bits
  b) It should be possible for libvirt to check the host it's on can
     satisfy that requirement (enough HW phys bits)
  c) libvirt can check that if RAM > 2^phys-bits it can complain

It is known that (c) can't catch all, as it might still fail if
RAM+rounding+pci+hotplug space goes over the limit. Figuring that limit
out is tricky and should not be part of the scope here.
