I think, the key idea is just to support the default for qxl (128Mib)
in the discussion.
videoram is not designed for qxl video ram.

This piece of code doesn't mean to use videoram option to assign memory for qxl.
Because videoram option comes in Xen before qxl, it need to be consided here.

v2 gives user the chance to assign memory for qxl.
