SeaBIOS requires at least 1MiB of RAM, but doesn't doesn't check for
it. It simply assumes it's there, and crashes when it isn't, often
without any indication what's wrong. No upstream SeaBIOS fix
expected.
In RHEL-6, we round memory sizes below 2MiB up to 2MiB to protect
SeaBIOS (commit 551c098 and commit b9d6c40). Do the same for RHEL-7.
Not wanted upstream.
