Actually even there I'm not so sure about the entire thing: to my
understanding from several discussions (I'm active there a bit, as I'm
packaging open-vm-tools, so things like this just raise) seems to be
that the host part is almost identical, with very few exceptions. The
module set is more or less the same; for Vsock there are other DEFINES
used.

Yeah, that's a horrible excuse. I've been talking with them for a long
time about this, and they are finally starting to realize that they need
to change this. But they move very slowly, so don't count on any big
changes any time soon.


Now that you two are talking about vmware, a quick question; I'm seeing this after starting vmware server:

Jan 13 00:15:24 nimrodel kernel: Symbol init_mm is marked as UNUSED, however
this module is using it.
Jan 13 00:15:24 nimrodel kernel: This symbol will go away in the future.
Jan 13 00:15:24 nimrodel kernel: Please evalute if this is the right api to
use, and if it really is, submit a report the linux kernel mailinglist together
with submitting your code for inclusion.
Jan 13 00:15:24 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[27427]: Module vmmon: registered
with major=10 minor=165
Jan 13 00:15:24 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[27427]: Module vmmon: initialized
Jan 13 00:15:24 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[27431]: Module vmmon: unloaded
Jan 13 00:25:01 nimrodel kernel: Symbol init_mm is marked as UNUSED, however
this module is using it.

Jan 13 00:25:01 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[27974]: Module vmmon: initialized


To whom should this be reported?

I guess vmware, but if so, I don't know where.
