[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux-2.6.18/xenbus: don't free other end details too early

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

The individual drivers' remove functions could legitimately attempt to
access this information (for logging messages if nothing else). Note
that I did not in fact observe a problem anywhere, but I came across
this while looking into the reasons for what turned out to need the
fix at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/5/336 to vsprintf().
