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

So we don't need the owner pointer in the API anymore, right?

Oh, NO.

The owner token represents that the group has been claimed for user
space access. And the default domain auto-attach policy will be changed
accordingly.

So we still need this. Sorry for the noise.

Best regards,
