Return 16M for qxl because QEMU uses 16MB as the default video ram size for qxl device since pc-1.2.

For qxl, The return value of that function is used to set ram and vram attributes which qemu doesn't care of. The proper and effective attribute is vgamem which was set to 16M already(commit#0e50246). It causes the strange attribute list in guest xml: <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1'/> ...... </video> and virt-manager also shows the inproper video ram size for qxl, It shows 64MB qxl video ram size in guest detailed page, but guest reports only 16MB. So should I keep 64MB in virDomainVideoDefaultRAM and set vgamem by virDomainVideoDefaultRAM? Or something else?
