Passing through the PCI switch would not help because the device without
a vDEVICE is the host Root Port. Neither the Root Port nor the switch
should be exposed to the VM.

A multi-device IOMMU group is an intentional effect of using
'pci=config_acs', and I would prefer to restore support for this
configuration upstream.
