Not for VMware. VMware provides a fully emulated hardware environment in 
which to install non-modified guest operating systems. There are no 
modifications required to VMware, Windows XP, or openSUSE 10.3 [1] in 
order to have Windows XP as a guest OS.

You're possibly confusing the hardware virtualisation flags with Xen and 
hardware assisted virtualisation for non-modified operating systems...

[1] Installing and configuring VMware will compile some kernel modules 
such as vmmon and vmnet that the vmware daemon will load into the 
running kernel of the host OS
