SPAPR exists completely outside the normal iommu driver framework, the groups it creates are fake and are only created to enable VFIO's uAPI. Thus, it does not need to follow the iommu core rule that the iommu_group will only be touched while a driver is attached. Carry a group reference into KVM and have KVM directly manage the lifetime of this object independently of VFIO. This means KVM no longer relies on the vfio group file being valid to maintain the group reference.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
