+Device MUST validate \field{opcode}, \field{group_type} and
+\field{group_member_id}, set \field{status} to VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EINVAL and
+set \field{status_qualifier} accordingly if any of these has an
+invalid or unsupported value.
+
+If \field{status} is set to VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EINVAL, the
+command MUST NOT have any side effects, in particular the device
+MUST not enter an error state as a result of this command.
+
+Device MAY enforce additional restrictions and dependencies on
+opcodes used by the driver and MAY fail the command
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE with \field{status} set to VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EINVAL
+and \field{status_qualifier} set to VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_FIELD
+if the list of commands used violate internal device dependencies.
+
+If the device supports multiple group types, commands for each group
+type MUST operate independently of each other, in particular,
+device MAY return different results for VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY
+for different group types.
+
+Before receiving VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE for a given group type
+device MUST assume
+that the list of legal commands used by driver consists of two commands
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY and VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE.
+
+Device MUST set the list of legal commands used by driver
+with the one supplied in VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE.
+
+Device MUST validate commands against the list used by
+driver and MUST fail any commands not in the list with
+\field{status} set to VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_EINVAL
+and \field{status_qualifier} set to
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_Q_INVALID_OPCODE.
+
+List of supported commands MUST NOT change: after reporting a
+given command as supported through VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY
+device MUST NOT later report it as unsupported.

+\drivernormative{\paragraph}{Group administration commands}{Basic Facilities of a Virtio Device / Device groups / Group administration commands}
+
+Driver MAY discover whether device supports a specific group type
+by issuing VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY with the matching
+\field{group_type}.
+
+Driver MUST issue VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE
+and wait for it to be completed with status
+VIRTIO_ADMIN_STATUS_OK before issuing any commands
+(except for the initial VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY
+and VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE).
+
+Driver SHOULD NOT set bits in device_admin_cmds
+if it is not familiar with how the command opcode
+is used, since there could exist dependencies between
+command opcodes.
+
+Driver MUST NOT request (by VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE)
+the use of any commands not previously reported as
+supported for the same group type by VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_QUERY.
+
+Driver MUST NOT use any commands for a given group type
+before sending VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LIST_USE with the correct
+list of command opcodes and group type.
