I have checked the 'vhostuser' type and 'bridge' type interface on x86, 'bridge' type interface on aarch64: hotadd these devices with no address specified in xml file, the address has also not been assigned at this point, but it works well. All of that assign an address in qemuDomainEnsurePCIAddress in the later time.
