Insanely large requests could cause an integer overflow in
bdrv_rw_co() while converting sectors to bytes. This patch catches the
problem and returns an error (if we hadn't overflown the integer here,
bdrv_check_byte_request() would have rejected the request, so we're not
breaking anything that was supposed to work before).
We actually do have a test case that triggers behaviour where we
accidentally let such a request pass, so that it would return success,
but read 0 bytes instead of the requested 4 GB. It fails now like it
should.
If the vdi block driver wants to be able to deal with huge images, it
can't read the whole block bitmap at once into memory like it does
today, but needs to use a metadata cache like qcow2 does.
