This does not seem absolutely right - normally set_iommu_table_base() is
replaced with set_iommu_table_base_and_group() or you will not see some
devices in a group and this may make VFIO unhappy.

But - if every single device gets assigned to some group, then we can push
this to Frobisher and let people test in on power8.
