Indeed, passing vfio_pci fails:
$ sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=vfio_pci 0000:01:00.0
Error: bind failed for 0000:01:00.0 - Cannot open
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio_pci/bind
Error: unbind failed for 0000:01:00.0 - Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/drivers//unbind

$ ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status |grep 0000:01:00.0
0000:01:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection 10fb'
drv=vfio-pci unused=ixgbe

Fixed and applied.
