Now we have the extended memory map (high IO regions beyond the
scalable RAM) and dynamic IPA range support at KVM/ARM level
we can bump the legacy 255GB initial RAM limit. The actual maximum
RAM size now depends on the physical CPU and host kernel.

Just hit this while testing, should this check be against LEGACY_RAMLIMIT_BYTES?

Definitively, my mistake. Thank you for spotting that.
