xenbus_frontend_register is basically just driver_register so it should
be safe to call even before the register_bus(xenbusfoo) call. Things
shouldn't kick off until xen_probe() is called which either happens
explicitly in xenbus_probe_init() or via probe_work which contains a
xenstored_ready check.
