I cannot confirm this for every use case, but I've done some recent testing 
with VFIO on an old kernel for an unrelated patch, and I noticed that if I used 
kernel 3.6, all my physical ports were assigned the same IOMMU group (as 
opposed to different ones with a more recent kernel). So I think it's a safe 
bet to at least try and test this on your side :) 

Thanks,
Anatoly
