Let's handle that in a better way by rejecting such weird RAM sizes
right from the start:
# qemu-system-s390x --enable-kvm --nographic -m 1234K
qemu-system-s390x: ram size must be multiples of 1 MiB

I'll switch to
error_setg(&error_fatal, "ram size must be multiples of 1 MiB");
here, to avoid the manual exit().
Please someone shout if I should keep it as is.
