yes.

I read the code,I am confused about these concepts.
In my opinion,
IOMMU-Domain: The masters in one domain share the same iova space. Is that right?
IOMMU-GROUP: As you mentioned up,all devices translated by this smmu should be into one group.
I can do this. But if there is only on domain in the system, how can I attaching/detaching the group
to different domains.

I think I have something wrong with these concepts.

Could you help to give me some suggestions.
