The current PCI memory space is limited to 236MB. It would be good to
increase it to at-least 512MB. KVM supports for device assignment to
the VM. For most of the PCI devices the 236MB memory might be enough,
but when you pass-through a graphics device, this memory is very
limited.

I don't know if the PCI memory space can be dynamically expanded, but
it would be good to increase the PCI memory space to 512MB at-least.
