Description
### Feature or enhancement request details
One reason why I still use UTM.app for a purpose built Linux VM is the ability to redirect a USB device. Specifically a USB SD Card reader (since the built in MBP isn't USB) so that I can format the filesystem with Linux tools and run other kind of Linux things on the block device.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how the container’s Linux machine handles device access and forwarding, then identify the scope needed for USB SD-card readers. Done means a USB device can be redirected into the container machine and used by Linux tools on the block device.
