I think the concept of iommu groups isn't very well understood, hence the 
little love it receives from developers who conclude it's useless. I can't 
blame anyone, I don't do any better. Could I convince you to include 
documentation in your next patch series that touches iommu groups ?

Could you please have a look at my "[RFC/PATCH 0/9] IOMMU probe deferral 
support" patch series in the context of iommu groups ? The series pretty much 
drops groups support from the ipmmu-vmsa driver, not because of a real desire 
to do so, but because I wasn't sure how to keep them. Tips would be 
appreciated.
