Cheers for looking at this: VFIO has been on my TODO list for some time.

I'm not especially familiar with IOMMU groups (I understand them as the
minimum translation granularity, which would mean single StreamID for the
ARM SMMU), but under what circumstances would you expect to receive a
non-NULL group here? I can't see any other code adding devices to groups
(outside of other drivers)...
