[Bug 1650067] [NEW] qemu core dumps when unable to allocate ram for new virtual machine

[Dave Chiluk]

Public bug reported:

Qemu available in the kilo-staging cloud archive will cause an abort
which will generate a core dump, if there is not enough memory available
to satisfy creation of the new Virtual Machine.

This is resolved with upstream commit
f8ed85ac992c48814d916d5df4d44f9a971c5de4

I'm opening this case, while I decide if it's worthwhile to re-spin qemu
to fix this issue.
