    tools: arm: report an error if the guest RAM is too large
    
    Due to the layout of the guest physical address space we cannot support more
    than 768M of RAM before overrunning the area set aside for the grant table. 
Due
    to the presence of the magic pages at the end of the RAM region guests are
    actually limited to 767M.
    
    Catch this case during domain build and fail gracefully instead of obscurely
    later on.
