https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1610072 Due to historical reasons we were not parsing device info on guestfwd channel. Sure, it doesn't make much sense to parse <address/> but it surely makes sense to parse its alias (which might be an user alias). This reverts commit 47a3dd46ead20e6fdc30bcdc1b8e707e250d33da which fixed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1172526.
