Hopefully if someone else has a different experience they will speak up, but I've not personally heard of any cards working reliably in a PCI passthrough mode. This could e a problem if you intende the KVM guest to handle all the card communication. You could get an analog gateway, or setup another small system to host any cards you get to act as a gateway, and keep most of your logic on the KVM.
