Is there a reason to do this?

*PCI* requires the ACS/etc because PCI kind of messed up how switches
handled PASID so PASID doesn't work otherwise.

But there is nothing that says other bus type can't have working
(non-PCI) PASID and still have device isolation issues.

So unless there is a really strong reason to do this we should keep
the PASID list in the group just like the domain.
