Guide: bind devices to vfio-pci for easy passthrough to VMs
TL;DR - skip to the second post if you just want to know how to convert from legacy PCI stubbing via Syslinux to the new point and click method in Unraid 6.9

At times you will want to "hide" devices from Unraid so that they can be passed through to a VM.
Unraid Prior to 6.7
In the past (pre Unraid 6.7) we would stub the device by adding a Vendor:Device code to the vfio-pci.ids parameter in Syslinux, something like this:
append vfio-pci.ids=8086:1533
This worked
