The tools are waiting for the backend to move from state 1
(XenbusStateInitialising) to state 2 (XenbusStateInitWait). A backend
driver typically makes that transition at the end of its probe function
-- what is the SLES11SP2 netback waiting for? Or is it failing to init,
in which case perhaps there is an error node in XS?
