Fix segfault with ram_size > 4095M without kvm

Currently, x86_64-softmmu qemu segfaults when trying to use > 4095M memsize.
This patch adds a simple check and error message (much like the 2047 limit on
32-bit hosts) on ram_size in the control path after we determine we're
not using kvm

Upstream qemu-kvm is affected if using the -no-kvm option; this patch address
the segfault there as well.
