Hi IPFire team.

I am a small home user. I have been using IPFire and recently been using it for QEMU and hosting VM’s. The experience has been great but recently I’ve been trying to a passthrough a NVIDIA GPU to a server that needs it.

I noticed I can’t do that without the vfio-pci kernel module. Is it possible to include this module in future releases?

I’ve found this thread: [Vfio kernel module for pci passthrough](https://community.ipfire.org/t/vfio-kernel-module-for-pci-passthrough/1056)  
I am creating a new one because that thread looks dead. Sorry if its not.

Thank you for all your hard work. Great product regardless.
