It would be good to figure out how to make iommu_attach_device()
enforce no other driver binding as a kernel user without a file *, as
Robin pointed to, before optimizing this.
This fixes an existing bug where iommu_attach_device() only checks the
group size and is vunerable to a hot plug increasing the group size
after it returns. That check should be replaced by this series's logic
instead.
