So Alex Graf pointed out here, there is a security issue here, or are we
missing something ?
What prevents a malicious program that has access to /dev/kvm from
taking over random iommu groups (including host used ones) that way?
What is the security model of that whole iommu stuff to begin with ?
Cheers,
Ben.
