[Xen-devel] [PATCH] clarify error message in xenbus_probe.c

[Michael LeMay <mdlemay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch clarifies an error message in
linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_probe.c that I personally
found to be a bit confusing, since it unequivocally asserts that a
xenstore entry was missing, when in fact it may simply be
inaccessible due to its permissions.  Let me know if you agree.
