Yes, we should always have DMA isolation between IOMMU groups.  My
concern is that I understand these i2c devices to generally provide
access to system/chipset management features, therefore by assigning
them to a VM you're granting that VM not only access to a single
device, but potentially management features which can affect the host
system.  This would generally not be advised for security reasons, so
these configurations are usually only created due to IOMMU grouping
restrictions.  It seems here that you're intentionally assigning these
devices to a VM.  Why?  If this is a development exercise to support
creation of drivers for these devices in a VM, great!  I'm just trying
to figure out if Intel is endorsing this configuration for some
generally useful purpose.  Thanks,
