What's the exact complaint?
The first one that coverity don't get that after free the new string is
assigned into the dev->stubDriver:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Event freed_arg: "virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver" frees "dev->stubDriver".
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the root cause for another complaint that the dev->stubDriver is
dereferenced after free:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Event deref_arg: Calling "virPCIDeviceDetach" dereferences freed
pointer "dev->stubDriver".

Is this something where an sa_assert() could do the trick in a more
tool-agnostic manner?
I'm looking at the code again and probably the issue found by coverity
could happen if the STRDUP fails inside of the
virPCIDeviceSetStubDriver.
This is a corner case where it could leads to creating a wrong modprobe
command because the dev->stubDriver also as driver and then as module
wouldn't be included in the command line.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
virPCIDeviceDetach()->virPCIProbeStubDriver()->virKModLoad()->
doModprobe()
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For the virKmodLoad() function the coverity found this issue:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Event deref_parm_in_call: Function "virKModLoad" dereferences
"driver". (The dereference is assumed on the basis of the 'nonnull'
parameter attribute.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure what to do with this. At first I've thought that it's only
the coverity mistake.
Thanks for the review,
Pavel
