Exactly 2G.

     qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries -m 2G ....

The boot normally continue like this:

    rfi-flush: fallback displacement flush available
    count-cache-flush: software flush disabled.
    stf-barrier: hwsync barrier available
    PCI host bridge /pci@800000020000000  ranges:
      IO 0x0000200000000000..0x000020000000ffff -> 0x0000000000000000
     MEM 0x0000200080000000..0x00002000ffffffff -> 0x0000000080000000
     MEM 0x0000210000000000..0x000021ffffffffff -> 0x0000210000000000
    PPC64 nvram contains 65536 bytes
    barrier-nospec: using ORI speculation barrier
    Zone ranges:
      Normal   [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff]
    Movable zone start for each node
    Early memory node ranges
      node   0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff]
    Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff]
