I have everything built and would like to make a quick observation.

but the qemu command line is showing 64MB even when set to 128MB in the
xl config file.

spice = 1
spicehost = '0.0.0.0'
spiceport = 6001
spicedisable_ticketing = 1
spicevdagent = 1
videoram = 128
vga = 'qxl'

Commenting out the videoram=128 line still shows 64MB in the qemu
command line.
