Description

Hi,

It's a bit odd that you can add passed-through PCI devices to VMs using this provider, but not actually pass them through on hosts to begin with. I expect this requires a new resource vmware_host_passthrough or vmware_host_pci_devices if want to match the data source. Alternatively, could add a passthrough block to the existing virtual_host resource. In any case, should allow adding by device ID as well as name, so can passthrough specific devices if there are many with the same name (eg multiple GPUs\NICs).

Cheers.

Use Case(s)

Declaratively pass-through. Currently must be done manually\outside Terraform.

Pls reopen, #1684 is not a duplicate. It was created in error and is irrelevent to this provider.
