2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Michal Schmidt commit 0a80fb10239b04c45e5e80aad8d4b2ca5ac407b2 upstream. As soon as the framebuffer is registered, our methods may be called by the kernel. This leads to a crash as xenfb_refresh() gets called before we have the irq. Connect to the backend before registering our framebuffer with the kernel.
