Default phys-bits on Qemu is TCG_PHYS_BITS (40) which is enough
to address 1Tb (0xff ffff ffff). On AMD platforms, if a
ram-above-4g relocation happens and the CPU wasn't configured
with a big enough phys-bits, warn the user. There isn't a
catastrophic failure exactly, the guest will still boot, but
most likely won't be able to use more than ~4G of RAM.
