[Qemu-devel] [PATCH-for-4.1 v3 1/6] virtio-balloon: Fix wrong sign extension of PFNs

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

If we directly cast from int to uint64_t, we will first sign-extend to
an int64_t, which is wrong. We actually want to treat the PFNs like
unsigned values.

As far as I can see, this dates back to the initial virtio-balloon
commit, but wasn't triggered as fairly big guests would be required.
