Uff. Yes, this is correct.

This is a bug in my initial design - I should not have created a "default"
window in the first place - it does not make sense at this level; and the
userspace (i.e. QEMU) removes all windows on reset anyway.

The only way QEMU will use this default window is when it is at 318f67ce1
"vfio: spapr: Add DMA memory preregistering (SPAPR IOMMU v2)" - memory
preregistration is there, but ddw is not yet but it is 2 patches later
where vfio_connect_container() unconditionally removes the default window.
Which is unlikely scenario.

Taking into account small number of DDW users (basically - QEMU v2.7.0),
does it still make sense to keep this default window code? The only
immediate problem I see here is QEMU will receive error from
vfio_spapr_remove_window() in vfio_connect_container() as there will be no
default window but I could workaround this.
