with huge amounts of RAM are unable to start because libvirt
kills qemu in the initialization phase. The problem is that if
guest is configured to use hugepages kernel has to zero them all
out before handing over to qemu process. For instance, 402GiB
worth of 1GiB pages took around 105 seconds (~3.8GiB/s). Since we

virTimeBackOffWait: Avoid long periods of sleep
While connecting to qemu monitor, the first thing we do is wait
for it to show up. However, we are doing it with some timeout to
avoid indefinite waits (e.g. when qemu doesn't create the monitor
socket at all). After beaa447a29 we are using exponential back
off timeout meaning, after the first connection attempt we wait
1ms, then 2ms, then 4 and so on. This allows us to bring down
wait time for small domains where qemu initializes quickly.
However, on the other end of this scale are some domains with
huge amounts of guest memory. Now imagine that we've gotten up to
wait time of 15 seconds. The next one is going to be 30 seconds,
and the one after that whole minute. Well, okay - with current
code we are not going to wait longer than 30 seconds in total,
but this is going to change in the next commit.
The exponential back off is usable only for first few iterations.
Then it needs to be caped (one second was chosen as the limit)
