vfio devices are generated on the fly, but the generic base is missing.
The base vfio has not much functionality but to provide a custom container by opening this path. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vfio.txt for more.

Why not just also add this rule iff there is a vfio-specific device rule? Ie, just add this along with the vfio device rule in virt-aa- helper instead of giving all VMs access when it isn't needed. -- Jamie Strandboge | http://www.canonical.com
