[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxc: don't pass uninitialized data to do_dm_op()

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

do_dm_op() expects (void *, size_t) pairs, but with nr being uint32_t
the type of the expression of xc_hvm_track_dirty_vram()'s last argument
to the function is only a 32 bits one. Neither C nor the ABI require
the compiler to promote the type beyond int.
