  - qemu: ioport_read, ioport_write: be defensive about
    32-bit addresses On x86, ioport addresses are 16-bit.
    That these functions take 32-bit arguments is a mistake.
    Changing the argument type to 16-bit will discard the
    top bits of any erroneous values from elsewhere in qemu.
    Also, check just before use that the value is in range.
    (This turns an ill-advised change to MAX_IOPORTS into a
    possible guest crash rather than a privilege escalation
    vulnerability.) And, in the Xen ioreq processor, clamp
    incoming ioport addresses to 16-bit values. Xen will
    never write >16-bit values but the guest may have access
    to the ioreq ring. We want to defend the rest of the
    qemu code from wrong values. This is XSA-199.
