Hi Aldo,

This seems to me a little bit weird. I am myself using KVM, but with 
less than 32 GB on the host, and I am not aware that the system itself 
(the host) becomes the first VM. I think it is doubtful, perhaps it 
would stand better for Xen ?
For a VM host, the more Ram you have, the better it is, so I don't see 
why it would be limited to 32 GB.

I am neither aware of a limit of 32 GB per guest (64 bits). I even found 
a document from OpenSuse stating a (tested) limit of 512 GB :
