Which I am failing to follow you on this.

What I am trying to achieve here is pretty much referencing a group so it 
cannot be reused. Plus LIOBNs. Passing a container fd does not make much 
sense here as the VFIO device would walk through groups, reference them and 
that is it, there is no locking on VFIO containters and so far there was no 
need to teach KVM about containers.

What do I miss now?
