Not true. This is meant to work roughly like this:

  virDomainMemoryStatStruct stats[VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_NR];

  nr_stats = virDomainMemoryStats(dom, stats, VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_NR, 0);

And depending what version you are compiled with you will get different
number of results. Important to say that to maintain backward
compatibility we have a rule that says _NR can only grow and never
shrink. Tomas' patch is actually correct (in this aspect).
