Verified PASS with libvirt-0.9.10-14.el6.

virsh will reject the following xml:
<memory>1G</memory>
<currentMemory>1G</currentMemory>

# virsh edit xp
error: XML error: could not parse memory element ./currentMemory[1]

# virsh define /tmp/xp.xml 
error: Failed to define domain from /tmp/xp.xml
error: XML error: could not parse memory element ./currentMemory[1]

# virsh create /tmp/xp.xml 
error: Failed to create domain from /tmp/xp.xml
error: XML error: could not parse memory element ./currentMemory[1]

Reproduced this bug with libvirt-0.9.10-12.el6.
libvirt silently use <memory unit='KiB'>1</memory> instead of 1G.
