[libvirt] FYI: qemu silently clipping large integers in JSON protocol

["Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones redhat com>]

This thread may be of interest:

Currently, qemu silently clips any JSON integer in the range
0x8000_0000_0000_0000 - 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff (all numbers in this
range will be clipped to 0x7fff_ffff_ffff_ffff == LLONG_MAX).

This basically could affect any libvirt code in this file which uses
the "U:..." prefix as far as I can tell:

http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c;hb=HEAD
