Intuitively, I'd have checked for any overflow/underflow by comparing
with one of the input variables:

a) Both numbers are positive

Adding to positive numbers has to result in something that's bigger than
the input parameters.

"a1 > 0 && a2 > 0 && ar < a1"

b) Both numbers are negative

Adding to negative numbers has to result in something that's smaller
than the input parameters.

"a1 < 0 && a2 < 0 && ar > a1"

If we're not going to just fix the >= typo,
I'd suggest using the much more compact bitwise method:

     ((ar ^ a1) & ~(a1 ^ a2)) < 0

See sadd64_overflow in qemu/host-utils.h.

Thanks, sounds like a good idea. Anyway, I'd like to go with Bruno's patch for 7.0 and do the optimization in the 7.1 cycle instead.
