This patch removes one padding byte and transform it into a flags

upon each read.

Flags, however, will only be interpreted when the guest decides to.
It uses the pvclock_valid_flags function to signal that a specific
set of flags should be taken into consideration. Which flags are valid
are usually devised via HV negotiation.


+void pvclock_valid_flags(u8 flags);

set_pvclock_valid_flags() (or just set_pvclock_flags? pvclock_set_flags()?). The original name looks like a getter.
