Subject: [PATCH] KVM: xen: ignore the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>

Upstream Xen now ignores this flag [1], since the only guest kernel ever to
use it was buggy. By ignoring the flag the guest will always get a callback
if it sets a negative timeout which upstream Xen has determined not to
cause problems for any guest setting the flag.
