You seem to be making a distinction between "owned by" and "assigned
to" and "used by" and I really don't see what it is.


Alex (and I) think that we should work with device/function granularity, as is common with other archs, and that the group thing is just a constraint on which functions may be assigned where, while you think that we should work at group granularity, with 1-function groups for archs which don't have constraints.

Is this an accurate way of putting it?
