Yes

Hmm, I didn't recall that we put in such a limitation, but given the
minimally intrusive approach to no-iommu and the fact that we never
defined an invalid group ID to return to the user, it makes sense that
we just blocked the ioctl for no-iommu use.  I guess we can do the same
for no-iommu cdev.

BTW, what does this series apply on?  I'm assuming[1], but I don't see
a branch from Jason yet.  Thanks,

Alex
