The problem is that your tools are creating a /local/domain/vfb/0 node in
xenstore. The PV drivers try to gracefully close down the backend for this
using the same fe closing -> be closing -> fe closed -> be closed state dance
that it uses for vifs and this is not working.
Since these is actually no fe driver for vfb, I suggest you just make sure this
node does not exist.
