I'm not sure I agree with this.

We are meant to work on embedded systems and 256MB should be enough to
let us bring up X under qemu.

I'm fine with some sdk/ptest images having more memory, that makes
sense but 256MB not allowing X under qemu seems rather poor.

Are we really saying the minimal image size we can emulate is 256MB
ram?

Cheers,
