On the other hand, if sequence numbers are 64-bit, the number of
operations required to cause a wrap far exceeds the expected lifetime of
any of us on this list, and we can safely assume it to be a non-issue.
(There's other places in qemu where we intentionally have an abort() if
a 64-bit number would wrap...)
