Excessive memory allocation on guest and host with gpu passthrough
Description of problem:
While gpu passthrough is enabled, the maximum amount of ram is allocated on the host (64 GB), even if the guest only has 8 GB configured as "currently allocated".
If I disable the physical gpu, the guest only takes the 8 GB.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install qemu-kvm virt-manager libvirt-daemon-system virtinst libvirt-clients and bridge-utils.
1. Create a Windows vm with virt-manager
1. Insert discrete GPU on a secondary pcie slot.
1. Add `intel_iommu=on iommu=pt vfio-pci.ids=10de:17c8,10de:0fb0` to the GRUB kernel parameters.
1. Add `options vfio-pci ids=10de:17c8,10de:0fb0` and `softdep nvidia pre: vfio-pci` to `/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf`.
1. Update initrmfs image.
1. Add pcie hardware on virt-manager.
1. Install virtio and nvidia drivers on guest.
Additional information:
I'm using an Nvidia gtx 980Ti on a secondary slot for the guest.
The first slot has an rtx 4090 used by the host.
