Yes, the commit's message could be improved.

Probably I'm blanking on everything about IOMMU now.. could you please
remind me what "IOMMU group" is?

Isn't it that each IOMMU group relates to the HW ID (SWGROUP)? But then
each display controller has its own SWGROUP.. and thus that sharing just
doesn't make any sense, hm.
