I have to admit that Coverity is good - it took me several minutes
to follow the trail down to qemu_monitor_{text,json}.c and prove to
myself that driveAddr.controller really is untouched on success.

I didn't actually try to exploit this one - it depends on whatever
is already on the stack, and your compiler optimization levels,
before you would ever see dumpxml giving bogus information in
the<address controller='garbage'>  field of the hotplugged<disk>.
