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?
