Nice find, I don't think that's the only bug there though.  If @start is
-1 (UINT32_MAX) and @count is 1, then @j gets set to -1 in the setup and
we hit the same index dereference problem.  What if we did this instead:

So we fix the problem with vfio_msi_set_vector_signal() dereferencing
the array before it validates the index (even though it shouldn't be
able to get there anymore), and then we do a better job of verifying
start and count (comparing to num_ctx will use unsigned even though
num_ctx itself is signed) and finally explicitly test the <0 case, which
I suppose we could also do by casting start at that point (we know it's
within the bounds of a signed integer given the previous tests).
Thanks,

Alex
