Belongs in a .h file.

Please use the dev_dbg() function instead of DPRINTK() or pr_debug().
It's much better and uniquely identifies the driver and device that you
are referring to.

Also, all of the printk() calls in these files should be switched to
dev_err() or dev_warn() for the same reason.

I'm guessing that XenbusState is a typedef?  Please fix the naming to be
Linux kernel compatible.

Global function?  With no description of what it does?  (hint,
describing it in the .h file, in pseudo-kerneldoc form doesn't really
count, it only makes the tools break...)

No kerneldoc for all of the global functions?

#ifdef is not needed.  Put it in the .h file.

Why have you embedded both a struct bus_type and a struct device into
this structure?  How is the lifecycle handled due to 2 different
reference counted structures?

Also, I note that you statically create this, which isn't the nicest,
why not dynamically create it?

And why a different probe function per bus types?

And the bus id is part of the struct bus_type, why a separate function
to retrieve it?

And what are you doing with the different "levels"?  Is there some
description of how you are using sysfs for this?  Busses should not be
"nested", devices should.  How does sysfs look with this code in it?
What is the /sys/bus/ structure?  What is the /sys/devices/ structure?

And why all the string logic for device ids and names?  Is that the only
unique way to identify the different devices on your bus?  Why not just
give them a numerical id then?  It would save you a lot of
computation...

What is the "frontend/backend" relationship here?

Why not use the standard "TYPE" "PATH" and no "XENBUS" stuff?

Hint, put the owner in the function, which will force the caller to pass
it in.  It's forgotten to be set in the structure a lot.  Look at USB
and PCI register functions now for an example of this.

What's with the lock?  What is wrong with the driver core lock that is
taken?  What are you trying to protect?

I think the driver core will handle walking your devices and suspending
them.  You don't have to do it by hand like this.

Same thing for resume.

#ifdef not needed if your .h file is written correctly.

The data field can be dropped.  Use the space in the struct device for
this.

Why the typedef?  Please don't.
