Well, actually it would be virPCIDeviceAddressIOMMUGroupIterate, which
is really quite a mouthful (and leads to very long lines). Due to the
extreme length, and based on seeing some other function that had just a
"virPCI" prefix, I chose the shorter name (although I secretly wondered
if you would raise an objection).

I definitely see the advantage of consistent naming, even if it's not
(yet) done consistently across all functions, so I'll change these names.

virPCIDeviceAddressGetIOMMUGroupAddresses

virPCIDeviceAddressGetIOMMUGroupNum

Going through all this, I've noticed that we *still* have multiple "pci
address" objects. For example virDevicePCIAddress (defined in /conf,
includes a "multifunction" attribute) and virPCIDeviceAddress (defined
in /util, no "multifunction"), and that many larger objects that include
a PCI address just define the individual attributes instead of using one
of the predefined objects. This leads to code that constructs one flavor
of PCI address/device from another just to call a function that requires
the other flavor. That *really* needs cleaning up...
