The changelog is somewhat confusing because it talks about the patch hunks
in reverse order (the pcifront_scan_root() change is first in the patch,
but the changelog mentions pcifront_rescan_root() first). I *think* this
means:

When pcifront_try_connect() finds no PCI roots, it falls back to calling
pcifront_scan_root() for 0000:00. If that fails, it used to switch to
XenbusStateConnected and return success (because xenbus_switch_state()
currently always succeeds).

If pcifront_scan_root() fails, leave the XenbusState unchanged and
return an error code.

Similarly, pcifront_attach_devices() falls back to calling
pcifront_rescan_root() for 0000:00. If that fails, it used to
switch to XenbusStateConnected and return an error code.

If pcifront_rescan_root() fails, leave the XenbusState unchanged and
return the error code.

The "num_roots" part doesn't seem relevant to me.

Konrad, if you want to take this, feel free. Otherwise, if you ack it and
you think my changelog understanding makes sense, I can pick it up.

It does seem odd that pcifront_attach_devices() ignores the
xenbus_switch_state() return value while pcifront_try_connect() does not.
But many other callers also ignore the return value, so maybe that's OK.
