Ok. And I assume that’ll all work at PCI speeds making it much more performant than using virtio-based forwarding. Sounds neat.

Do I need to do anything besides UEFI boot my virt-manager (QEMU) VM to make use of things like this?

I generally followed this guide, despite working from another distro: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

The biggest pain every time I've done this is making sure that I can bind the device to the vfio driver.
