Hi Peng,

I suppose I would consider this an optional part of the internal vfio
API, it's only real purpose it to provide the ability to create fake
groups which are only used for no-iommu.  It's perfectly legitimate to
use iommu_group_get/put if there is no desire to enable no-iommu.
Baptiste, Eric, do you have an opinion whether enabling no-iommu in
vfio/platform is something we should do?  Thanks,

Alex
