No, I just didn't understand your point until you re-explained on IRC a
little while ago. I'm changing it as you suggest.

In the meantime, I'm thinking about the other point that you made on IRC
- that we're putting logic into libvirt to derive some of these
parameters (port, chassis, chassis_nr) but in the future may decide that
we need to derive them a different way, and if we do that to an existing
machine during migration, things will get "seriously messed up". Even if
this change takes place while the guest isn't running, the guest OS
could get upset about such a change. All this implies that we really
need to be saving the derived values in the config to avoid such surprises.
