I am Ok if we toss it out to get this merged, as there is no in-kernel
user right now.

Something will have to come back for iommufd, but we can look at what
is best suited then.

If iommufd plans to be too dumb to keep track of whether it already owns a given group or not, I can't see it dealing with attaching that group to a single domain no more than once, either ;)
