While testing a mix of PV and FV LAN devices in a sles10 HVM guest, it was 
found that netfront tries to initialize for the FV device.  This eventually 
fails and causes the guest to hang.  By having netfront fail the probe for the 
FV device, both PV and FV LAN devices can come up.

The patch applies to both unstable and 3.0.3 testing.
