Since linux commit: cf8fa920cb42 ("i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)")
linux has supported initrd up to 4 GB, but the header field
ramdisk_max is still set to 2 GB to avoid "possible bootloader bugs".
When use '-kernel vmlinux -initrd initrd.cgz' to launch a VM,
the firmware(it could be linuxboot_dma.bin) helps to read initrd
contents into guest memory(below ramdisk_max) and jump to kernel.
that's similar with what bootloader does, like grub.
In addition, initrd_max is uint32_t simply because QEMU doesn't support
the 64-bit boot protocol (specifically the ext_ramdisk_image field).
Therefore here just limit initrd_max to UINT32_MAX simply as well to
allow initrd to be loaded below 4 GB.
NOTE: it's possible that linux protocol within [0x208, 0x20c]
supports up to 4 GB initrd as well.

Some address/memory APIs have different type between
'hwaddr/target_ulong addr' and 'int len'. It is very unsafe, especially
some APIs will be passed a non-int len by caller which might cause
overflow quietly.
Below is an potential overflow case:
dma_memory_read(uint32_t len)
-> dma_memory_rw(uint32_t len)
-> dma_memory_rw_relaxed(uint32_t len)
-> address_space_rw(int len) # len overflow

Previously, if the size of initrd >=2G, qemu exits with error:
root@haswell-OptiPlex-9020:/home/lizj# /home/lizhijian/lkp/qemu-colo/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel ./vmlinuz-4.16.0-rc4 -initrd large.cgz -nographic
qemu: error reading initrd large.cgz: No such file or directory
root@haswell-OptiPlex-9020:/home/lizj# du -sh large.cgz
2.5G large.cgz
this patch changes the caller side that use this function to calculate
size of initrd file as well.

Previously, if we attach more than one filters for a single netdev,
both ingress and egress traffic will go through net filters in same
order like:
ingress: netdev ->filter1 ->filter2 ->...filter[n] ->emulated device
egress: emulated device ->filter1 ->filter2 ->...filter[n] ->netdev.
This is against the natural feeling and will complicate filters
configuration since in some scenes, we hope filters handle the egress
traffic in a reverse order. For example, in colo-proxy (will be
implemented later), we have a redirector filter and a colo-rewriter
filter, we need the filter behave like:
ingress(->)/egress(<-): chardev<->redirector<->colo-rewriter<->emulated device
Since both buffer filter and dump do not require strict order of
filters, this patch switches to always let egress traffic walk through
net filters in reverse to simplify the possible filters configuration
in the future.

Prevously, if we hotplug a device(e.g. device_add e1000) during
migration is processing in source side, qemu will add a new ram
block but migration_bitmap is not extended.
In this case, migration_bitmap will overflow and lead qemu abort
unexpectedly.
