That is not a kernel problem.  That is a problem with a 3rd party
module not working right with a new kernel.   Note that 3rd party
modules break all of the time because of kernel changes and as such
are best to avoid unless absolutely necessary.

And since vmware needs this 3rd party module to work I am going to
suspect that vmware is somehow funding the module (since no one else
would likely care), and since VMware needs this module to work then it
is a VMWare problem.

If there is any other way (KVM/QEMU) to work without a 3rd party
module I will take it.  3rd party modules are typically a few weeks
behind the current kernels (and sometimes never updated reliably) and
as such will break with new kernels.
