https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140958 When we set period as unsigned int max value 4294967295 and start the vm, qemu will report error. This becuase we define period as a unsigned int and parse it as a unsigned int, but we use it as a int when set it via QMP in qemuMonitorJSONSetMemoryStatsPeriod, so 4294967295 turn to -1 when we send the QMP command. After check the qemu's code this value type should be int, and found a qemu commit 1f9296b for this values range. Seems no other hypervisor vm use this so i add a check when we parse it.
