This doesn't require, and certainly shouldn't create, a fake group.
Only the VF's real IOMMU group should be used to model an iommu domain
linked to a VF. Injecting fake groups that are proxies for real groups
only opens the possibility of security problems like David is
concerned with.
I think this security issue should be addressed by letting mdev device
inherit its parent's iommu_group, i.e. VF's iommu_group here.

Max's series approaches this properly by fully linking the struct
pci_device of the VF throughout the entire VFIO scheme, including the
group and container, while still allowing override of various VFIO
operations.
