Pretty much all virtualization packages do this - Virtualbox, KVM,
Citrix/Xen, VMWare, and so forth. They all require you to assign specific
USB devices for passthrough, they aren't able to give access to all devices
even if you wanted them to.*

Nonetheless physical separation between production systems (especially
important ones) and experimental/dev machines is never a bad idea, and it
shouldn't be difficult to find alternative hardware to run a 'mucking
about' machine on.
