Antonios,

Your patch always creates new iommu group whenever .add_device() is called,
which results in memory leak. You need to check if the given device is already
involved in an iommu group.

BTW, I will post new patchset in a few days.
It will not be such different from previous one and your patch
will be rebased on that in a trivial manner.
