They all have to be within the MMIO32 window of a PHB and we reserve the 
entire window here.

True, we did not need to, as the hypervisor always took care of DMA and 
MMIO32 regions to not overlap.

And in this series we do not (strictly speaking) need this either as 
phyp never allocates more than one window dynamically and that only 
window is always the second one starting from 0x800.0000.0000.0000. It 
is probably my mistake that KVM allows a new window to start from 0 - 
PAPR did not prohibit this explicitly.

And for the KVM case, we do not need to remove the default window as KVM 
can pretty much always allocate as many TCE as the VM wants. But we 
still allow removing the default window and creating a huge one instead 
at 0x0 as this way we can allow 1:1 for every single PCI device even if 
it only allows 48 (or similar but less than 64bit) DMA. Hope this makes 
sense. Thanks,
