So far you cannot bind virtio devices with normal vfio-pci as the vIOMMU support is not upstreamed yet (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9670273/).

Instead, you can bind virtio devices to vfio-pci (no-iommu mode). You can enable it like:
  $ modprobe vfio enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode=1
  $ modprobe vfio-pci

Thanks,
Jianfeng
