"Plus LIOBNs" is not a trivial change.  You are establishing a linkage
from LIOBNs to groups.  But that doesn't make sense; if mapping in one
(guest) LIOBN affects a group it must affect all groups in the
container.  i.e. LIOBN->container is the natural mapping, *not* LIOBN
to group.

Referencing the groups is essentially just a useful side effect.  The
important functionality is informing VFIO of the guest LIOBNs; and
LIOBNs map to containers, not groups.
