[PULL 06/16] accel/tcg: better handle memory constrained systems

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

It turns out there are some 64 bit systems that have relatively low
amounts of physical memory available to them (typically CI system).
Even with swapping available a 1GB translation buffer that fills up
can put the machine under increased memory pressure. Detect these low
memory situations and reduce tb_size appropriately.

Fixes: 600e17b2615 ("accel/tcg: increase default code gen buffer size for 64 bit")
