Attach a target-arch gdb to the QEMU gdbstub and put a watchpoint on
address zero ? (Or if you suspect something inside QEMU is doing it
then run QEMU under gdb and watchpoint the host memory location
corresponding to guest address 0, but that's more painful.) Nothing
in the pre-kernel part of the boot process will have set up paging,
so the watchpointing should be pretty reliable.

That's the guy:

There must be an error in how get_ram_size() restores the RAM values :
