Change fef20d9c1380f04ba9492d6463148db07b413708, "vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users", causes a regression in xenbus which results in no devices getting attached to a new domain. Reverting fef20d9c1380f04ba9492d6463148db07b413708 and 39e874f8afbdb3745e2406ce4ecbde9ac4cbaa78 fixes the problem.

I haven't identified what format string is being handled wrongly, so I don't know what the precise bug is. The most complex looking format in use seems to be %.*s; there's also "%s/%s", "%i" and "%lX".
