No, this is correct.

If you do not share tables and you have multiple IOMMU groups passed to 
QEMU, and all actual devices are capable of 64bit DMA, and you have 
multiple PHBs in QEMU (each backed with a 64bit TCE table which is updated 
once at the boot time and never changes) - all these tables will have 
exactly the same content.

Another thing is if you do not want to have multiple PHBs in QEMU, and you 
do not have tables sharing, every H_PUT_TCE request would have to update 
each group's TCE table, not just one. Not very fast approach.

So it seems a useful thing. If you do not want sharing, just add another 
virtual PHB and put vfio-pci devices onto it.
