Setting the defaults here feels out of place.
If we set them in the PostParse callbacks, they will also get formatted back
(which should not matter when migrating to older libvirt, as it does not
parse it anyway), which is what we do for lots of other default values.

That way only the controllers auto-added a few lines above this code
would need their chassis filled.
