not sure what you mean by that, if an `PVE.Pool.AddVM` is instantiated,
the `extraRequestParams` is already set, so it isn't just in `__proto__`
for me. but yeah, the problem is correct as `me.extraRequestParams = {}`
overwrites the field.

this worked for me, can you confirm that this also does what it should
for you?

```js
    extraRequestParams: undefined,

    constructor: function(conf) {
        let me = this;
        if (!me.extraRequestParams) {
                me.extraRequestParams = {};
        }
        me.initConfig(conf);
        me.callParent();
    },
```
