Looking at the Coverity scan for DPDK, it looks like all the base
drivers are marked to be ignored.

Although the changes to base drivers should not be done directly through
DPDK list. I think it is still valuable to have these driver scanned and
notify (badger) the vendors to fix there code.

Since lots of the bugs could be there, just blindly ignoring warnings
and issues is being naive.
