PCIe/Thunderbolt device delegation to Linux guest VM on Apple Silicon

Does Virtualization.framework support delegating a Thunderbolt/PCIe device to a Linux guest VM running on Apple Silicon? We're developing a custom PCIe device and would like to iterate on the driver in a Linux VM environment on the same host.
