I don't think this is supported in mminfo. I would grab all the entries
and then post-process to remove the group I didn't want.

The only place I see reference to '!' in mminfo is with regard to flags:
When comparing flags whose values are normally 'true' and
'false', one may alternatively use the '[ ! ] name' syntax. The
'!name' form is equivalent to 'name=false', and 'name' by itself is
equivalent to 'name=true'.
But 'group' is a character string attribute instead of a flag, so the
bang operator isn't appropriate.
