<p dir="ltr">I'm not sure what you mean by passthrough individual controler.<br>
I have a 5ports usb 3 pci controller which i blacklisted on my host (same way as the graphic card) and i passthrough it to the vm to have plug and play. It has its own iommu group. If that's what you're looking for i can search my stuff for the reference</p>
