As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, this states 'what' but not 'why'; 
adding a bit more of the 'why' can be useful when revisiting this commit 
in the future.

unsigned values have defined wraparound semantics, signed values have a 
lower maximum and require careful handling to avoid undefined overflow. 
So we have to check all clients for any surprises.

block/file-posix.c:raw_do_pwrite_zeroes() -
         assert(req->offset + req->bytes >= offset + bytes);
pre-patch: assert(int64_t + uint64_t >= int64_t + int)
            assert(uint64_t >= int64_t) - unsigned compare
post-patch: assert(int64_t >= int64_t) - signed compare
Risky if adding req->bytes could ever overflow 63 bits but still fit in 
64 bits, but I couldn't find any way to trigger that.  I think we're 
safe because the block layer never calls a driver's .pwrite_zeroes with 
a bytes that would overflow 63 bits.

block/write-threshold.c:bdrv_write_threshold_exceeded() -
         if ((req->offset + req->bytes) > bs->write_threshold_offset) {
pre-patch: ((int64_t + uint64_t) > uint64_t) - unsigned compare
post-patch: (int64_t > uint64_t) - still unsigned compare

Perhaps that function should be changed to return int64_t, but probably 
as a different patch in the series (I didn't read ahead yet to see if 
you already did).

This part is nice - it makes it very easy to prove all other uses of 
BdrvTrackedRequest.bytes were already in range (both pre- and post-patch).

While here, should we use QEMU_ALIGN_DOWN instead of open-coding?

Looking through uses of BdrvTrackedRequest in io.c, I couldn't find any 
other surprises (it seems everything starts with tracked_request_begin, 
and while you did switch between unsigned and signed, you did not switch 
width, so it's easier to reason about once we know things don't overflow).
