Hi Marek,

Thank you for the patch.

IOMMU groups still seem a bit unclear to me. Will Deacon has nicely explained 
what they represent in http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-December/310816.html. The IOMMU core doesn't make groups 
mandatory, but requires them in some code paths.

For example the coldplug device add function add_iommu_group() called for all 
devices already registered when bus_set_iommu() is called will try to warn of 
devices added multiple times with a WARN_ON(dev->iommu_group). Another example 
is the iommu_bus_notifier() function which will call the remove_device() 
operation only when dev->iommu_group isn't NULL.

I'm thus unsure whether groups should be made mandatory, or whether the IOMMU 
core should be fixed to make them really optional (or, third option, whether 
there's something I haven't understood properly).
