vmblock / vmsync are no longe needed

they was needed for consistent snaphsots and not used on recenct kernels
get this both obsolete did make my life so much easier with VMware
Datarecovery and kernel updates

vmhgfs is only relevant on desktops and even there i would use SMB

vmxnet is not needed at all, vmxnet3 is in the upstream kernel
since years - so finally you do not really need any kernel mdoule
and since my whole infracstructure is running a long time even
without vmci/vsock a declare both also as obsolete
