We need have a discussion with UI developers about the restriction.
As you mentioned,  the other devices in the same group will be affected 
by the passing through.
We need let the user know this potential dangerous.  Considering kimchi 
is a light weight virtualization management tool,  I will suggest we 
only expose the leaf device with a field which indicate the devices will 
be affected by passing this device.  And the usb controller and scsi 
could be filtered, we can implement the passing through of them by their 
own mechanism.
