The group functionality is primarily for iommu_ops so we can expose to
users which devices need to be grouped because of iommu restrictions.
We can add a quirk to the grouping for this device, but then we have to
figure out how dma_ops makes use of that info too. Maybe we could have
a 'struct pci_dev *pci_get_iommu_alias_quirk(struct pci_dev *pdev)'
function that given device 0d:00.3 would return 0d:00.0 for this case
and both get_domain_for_dev() and intel_iommu_device_group() could make
use of it. Thanks,

Alex
