Correct, at least for NVIDIA.
OK, but so what am I missing vis-a-vis the groups conversation? Sounds
like multiple vGPU's are being combined, but if only one can be created.
I think this is where I got confused while reading...

mdevs do not exist on the host (they do not have a driver on the host
because they are not PCI devices) so they do need any management. At
least I hope that's good news. :)
