Interestingly both 'slot' and 'base' are optional in the
domaincommon.rng (dimmaddress). Neither are described in the
formatdomain.html.in which IIRC was a developer decision (I have a vague
recollection of doing a review and noting that)...

Still if an <address> was provided, 'slot' doesn't seem to have been
treated as optional in most places (used cscope to search on dimm.slot).

Even though it's optional, it seems qemuDomainUpdateMemoryDeviceInfo is
run in order to fill in the "running domain's" dimm.{slot,base} from the
qemuMonitorGetMemoryDeviceInfo; however, there's no "assurance" that
dimm.slot is the same as the alias dimm#. IOW: We've never guaranteed
that dimm.slot is the same as the dimm# alias number. It just happens to
work that way due to the algorithm or until someone comes along and
messes with the karma.

In any case, the code below seems fine (implied ACK), but I think that
domaincommon.rng could use a tweak to make 'slot' non optional, which
should be fine since <address> is still optional. Before you push
though, consider my comments in patch2.
