Sending xend logs here is only marginally useful, as the errors
quite certainly originate in the hypervisor. Especially considering
that the ordering of devices matters (which is quite irritating to
me), but also with the logs here now showing the -EEXIST error
that your earlier mail mentioned, we have to rely on you to help
with tracking down the root cause of this (by instrumenting the
affected hypervisor paths, i.e. extending on the debugging
patch that Andrew sent). And without you explicitly saying so
we can't even be sure there aren't (when run at maximum log
level) already messages in the hypervisor log that might provide
some further insight.

Also, please don't cross post - pick either of xen-devel or
xen-users, but not both.
