Subject: [PATCH v5 1/7] Introduce device group
Each device group has a type. For now, define initial type of device groups: Type 1 - A virtio PCI SR-IOV physical function (PF) and its PCI SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs). This group may contain one or more virtio devices. Each device within a device group has a unique identifier. This identifier is the virtio device id (vdev_id).
