OK, so this is simply a feature which upstream qemu doesn't have. That's
fine.

I guess xl.cfg(5) needs updating to make it clear that this option only
applies to qemu-xen-traditional.

The docs also currently say that for stdvga the default is 8MB and for
not stdvga (by which I guess it means Cirrus) the default if 4MB. So I
guess even this is inaccurate for qemu-xen-upstream?

Can someone send a patch please?

Ian.
