I failed to replicate this issue.

Qemu command used:
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -smp 4,cores=2 -drive 
file=my-image.qcow2 -nographic -m 2G


lsmem (inside guest):
RANGE                                 SIZE  STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK
0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff   2G online       yes 0-127

Memory block size:        16M
Total online memory:       2G
Total offline memory:      0B

Not sure what I am missing, but changes looks good to me.

Thanks,
Sourabh Jain
