I would have added a fallthrough like it's done below in
XenbusStateClosed.

Also, FWIW, I think clang's fallthrough warnings are a bit too verbose.
Falling through to a break like the case here shouldn't cause a
warning IMO, falling through to anything != break should indeed cause
those warnings to appear.

Thanks, Roger.
