Subject: [PATCH 3.16 343/346] xenbus: don't look up transaction IDs for
 ordinary writes

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@...e.com>

commit 9a035a40f7f3f6708b79224b86c5777a3334f7ea upstream.

This should really only be done for XS_TRANSACTION_END messages, or
else at least some of the xenstore-* tools don't work anymore.
