Hi Alex,
due to the major changes happened in the past in the virtual memory
subsystem I prefer to fix the problem when 6.0-RELEASE is rolled out,
to avoid all those #ifdef's you see in the vmmon already.
The true plane is to replace vmmon altogether with a common one
for vmware 2, 3, 4 and if someone takes the job even version 5
and/or GSX server (if it is doable).
At the moment I received very little help in this sense, I used
to setup a `bridge environment' for vmware 4 vmmon module which
you can find on my homepage and that can be a start point to
unify all the vmmon's, but I am short of time and would need someone
to give me a hand.
The second major problem is the SMP, which is still broken! The hard
part of all this, is that you can't test vmware on a simulated environment
so I have to get all the crash, it's hard life debugging it! :)
Ciao!
Orlando
