QEMU used to exits with a not accurate error message when
an initrd >= 2GB was passed. That was fixed on patch:
commit f3839fda5771596152b75dd1e1a6d050e6e6e380
Author: Li Zhijian <lizhij...@cn.fujitsu.com>
Date: Thu Sep 13 18:07:13 2018 +0800
change get_image_size return type to int64_t
This change adds a regression test for that fix. It starts
QEMU with a 2GB dummy initrd, and check it evaluates the file
size correctly and prints accurate message.
