Group 20 and Group 21 are now fairly small and feature just one single device.
In the light of this I wanted to ask if it's possible to separate at least some of the smaller PCIe slots away from Group 13 by a BIOS update? As you can see I have a USB controller plugged into one of the slots, and regrettably it always shows up in group 13 alongside Ethernet controller and whole other USB controller (on-board).

If it is possible to split these groups it would make this board a whole lot better for VFIO, even though its GPU isolation is already great.
