That sounds like either pci_device_group() needs modifying, or perhaps
that intel-iommu needs its own extended iommu_ops::device_group
implementation, to ensure that VMD child devices get put in the same
group as their parent - if they share requester IDs they can't feasibly
be attached to different domains anyway.
