This looks pretty bogus.  It should be associated with the device, rather
than incorrectly trying to generate a globally unique name.
Not all ram is associated with a device.
Maybe not, but where it is we should be using that information.
Absolute minimum we should be using the existing qdev address rather than
inventing a new one.  Duplicating this logic inside every device seems like a
bad idea so I suggest identifying ram blocks by a (name, device) pair. For now
we can allow a NULL device for system memory.


I agree, this is duplicating the qdev tree in a string. Devices/BARs should have ram qdev fields and so ram can be enumerated completely via qdev.

System memory can be part of a system device.
