For backward operations, dstpitch and srcpitch can
be negative. This leads BLTUNSAFE macro into an
overflow, and as a result, it avoids performing
operations that are perfectly valid.
The visible effect that led to that patch was the gnome-panel
bar in Fedora10. Before this patch, you could see garbage
clobbering a big portion of the bar.
After this patch, this garbage is gone.

Hypervisors like KVM perform badly while doing mmio on
a loop, because it'll generate an exit on each access.
This is the case with VGA, which results in very bad
performance.
In this patch, we map the linear frame buffer as RAM,
make sure it has dirty region tracking enabled, and then
just let the region to be written.

It'll be reused later by the vga optimization.

unsigned long is too bad of a type. Use ram_addr_t instead.

The code in hw/cirrus_vga.c has changed a lot between CVE-2007-1320 has
been announced and the patch has been applied. As a consequence it has
wrongly applied and QEMU is still vulnerable to this bug if using VNC.

I left a TODO in the code because this still doesn't definitely
fix all issues.

I have just noticed that patch for CVE-2007-1320 has never been applied
to the QEMU CVS. Please find it below.
| Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the cirrus_invalidate_region
