this path is invoked only in VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO path. If we don't
want to assume the status quo that one container holds only one
device w/ vIOMMU (the prerequisite for vSVA), looks we also need
check the format compatibility when attaching a new group to this
container?

do you plan to support multiple formats? If not, use singular name.
