Since we already have the validation in place for some time now I think
we should just keep it. The auto-filling would be a useful hack to work
around if config breaks, but judged by itself it's of questionable
benefit.

Specifically users might end up with a topology which they didn't
expect. Reasoning is basically the same as with qemu. Any default
behaviour here is a policy decision and it might not suit all uses.
