No, this must not be.
Any device can have VFIO attached to it, and VFIO does the equivalent
of iommu_attach_device(). We cannot have "unknown hardware-level side
effects" to changing the domain's of multi device groups and also have
working VFIO.
If these HW problems exist they are a seperate issue and the iommu
core should flag such groups as being unable to change their domains
at all.
