virPCIProbeStubDriver() and virPCIDeviceBindToStub() both have very similar code that locally sets a driver name (based on stubDriverType). These two functions are each also called in just one place (virPCIDeviceDetach()), with just a small bit of validation code in between. To eliminate the "duplicated" code (which is going to be expanded slightly in upcoming patches to support manually or automatically picking a VFIO variant driver), this patch modifies virPCIProbeStubDriver() to take the driver name as an argument (rather than the virPCIDevice object), and calls it from within virPCIDeviceBindToStub() (rather than from that function's caller), using the driverName it has just figured out with the now-not-duplicated code. (NB: Since it could be used to probe *any* driver module, the name is changed to virPCIProbeDriver()).

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
