What do you see with the following bash command:
for a in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*; do find $a -type l; done | sort
--version-sort
There may be other devices in the same IOMMU group as your NICs. If so,
then you need to bind VFIO to those devices as well. Found this link
that might be helpful if you're unfamiliar with the concept of IOMMU groups:
