The above 2 paragraphs are bit confusing :-) but what really matters
is the below:

All you are referring to is when admin groups multiple devices in a
single container, you are saying you can't give isolation to them
for SVA purposes. This is logically equivalent to a single group with
multiple devices.

	- Such as devices behind p2p bridge
	- MFD's or devices behind switches or hieararchies without ACS
	  support for instance.

By limitation you mean, disable PASID on those devices in a single 
container?

what about ATS?
