It just doesn't seem like we are sharing a lot, this patch is a whole
new function and you are saying the unique implementation needs to be more
complex still.

Maybe the next version will be able to share more??

Like can we just patch the existing code that sets the group_id/dev_id
or somethiing???

Still, I'm not sure that qemu will share really share much here,
because if it runs in group mode then it has to parse the result in a
totally different way than if it runs in dev_id mode. The ioctl call
is only a line or two. I imagine qemu will end up with two different
functions that both return some kind of internal list of qemu devices
in the reset group.
