I agree the ideal solution is as you suggested. I also considered it.
The reason why I make the holders list a sub-resource is efficiency. To
find out which VMs are holding one device, it has to scan all the VM
XMLs. Due to the limitation of the current controller and model
framework, each resource lookup is an isolated operation without any
common context. So it has to scan all the VMs for each device instead of
scanning all VMs just one pass and calculating an inverse device index.
We can imaging, when /host/devices is requested, there would be a
scanning storm. I also believe that resource like
/host/devices/usb_1_1_6 makes sense even without virtualization
information in it. So I decided to "delay" the lookup of the VM holders
and make it a sub-collection.
My original thought is that, firstly the user gets a general idea of all
devices from the showing of listing /host/devices. If the user is
interested in assigning a certain device, he would select it, then the
front-end requests for the details for the affected devices in the same
iommu group and VMs holding the device.
