Agreed. So just to be clear on the design, if we automatically enable
/dev/vfio/vfio in devices cgroup on domain startup (of course only for
domains that are doing pci passtrhough^Wassignment), you would be okay
with that?
Similarly, allowing /dev/dri/renderD128 for domains with virgl on their
startup.
Note, check jtomko's earlier patch which aims to do that for /dev/dri/renderD128
