No, Which group vio_idx belongs to is determined by hardware. Software
cannot change its group.
There is very low possibility that multiple groups has violation at the
same time, so it would not spend much time to handle it.
It also cannot shift multiple groups at the same time since there is
only one vio_info(rw, vio_addr, master_id, ...) exist at a time.
devapc_extract_vio_dbg() function is doing this step.
