Ok.

I don't see what you're getting at here. The qemu code will have to
change to enable v2 containers anyway, in which case it could also be
changed to handle the creation of the 32-bit window in qemu instead of
the kernel.
Oh.. wait.. except I keep forgetting that v2 containers can still
handle pre-IODA IOMMUs that don't do ddw at all, so not initializing
the default window would given an inconsistent state for a fresh
container.
Ok. it makes sense as it is.
