[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/8] OptsVisitor: don't try to flatten overlong integer ranges

[Laszlo Ersek]

Prevent mistyped command line options from incurring high memory and CPU
usage at startup. 64K elements in a range should be enough for everyone
(TM).

The OPTS_VISITOR_RANGE_MAX macro is public so that unit tests can
construct corner cases with it.
