Fair comment, sorry for the salad. How about this?

===
VFIO TCE IOMMU v2 owns IOMMU tables. When we detach an IOMMU group from
a container, we need to unset these tables from the group which we do by
calling unset_window(). We also unset tables when removing a DMA window
via the VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE ioctl.
