None of the VFIO APIs take in the vfio_group anymore, so we can remove it completely. This has a subtle side effect on the enforced coherency tracking. The vfio_group_get_external_user() was holding on to the container_users which would prevent the iommu_domain and thus the enforced coherency value from changing while the group is registered with kvm. It changes the security proof slightly into 'user must hold a group FD that has a device that cannot enforce DMA coherence'. As opening the group FD, not attaching the container, is the privileged operation this doesn't change the security properties much. On the flip side it paves the way to changing the iommu_domain/container attached to a group at runtime which is something that will be required to support nested translation.

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.
