I think the attached patch is better as it removes some formulaic
code.  I don't think I have a guest which can repro the bug so I have
only compile tested it.

Dongxiao, would you care to take a look ?

PS: I'm pretty sure the original overflows aren't security problems.

Thanks,
Ian.

    cpu_ioreq_pio, cpu_ioreq_move: introduce read_phys_req_item, 
write_phys_req_item
    
    The current code compare i (int) with req->count (uint32_t) in a for
    loop, risking an infinite loop if req->count is >INT_MAX.  It also
    does the multiplication of req->size in a too-small type, leading to
    integer overflows.
    
    Turn read_physical and write_physical into two different helper
    functions, read_phys_req_item and write_phys_req_item, that take care
    of adding or subtracting offset depending on sign.
    
    This removes the formulaic multiplication to a single place where the
    integer overflows can be dealt with by casting to wide-enough unsigned
    types.
