The right way to do this is to set the MachineClass default_ram_size
to what you want your default value to be. Then you should calculate
the dc0 etc values to expose to the guest based on the ram size
(which might be the default or might be user specified).
If the user asks for a value that you can't handle (eg it is too big)
then you should report the problem (via error_report()) and exit.
