You'd need to create a 160KB VM in order to stay below the required direct map memory regions imposed by the system firmware (e8000 - c0000). Non-upstream bypasses of those restrictions are clearly not supported. You can find more details regarding the RMRR restriction here:

QEMU currently has no support for creating a VM memory map based on the restrictions of the host platform IOMMU requirements.
