I think the Coverity setup is outdated:
ignore_driver_1 	/lib/librte_pmd_e1000/e1000/.* 	Yes 	Remove
ignore_driver_2 	/lib/librte_pmd_fm10k/base/.* 	Yes 	Remove
ignore_driver_3 	/lib/librte_pmd_i40e/i40e/.* 	Yes 	Remove
ignore_driver_4 	/lib/librte_pmd_ixgbe/ixgbe/.* 	Yes 	Remove

These directories don't exist anymore.
