2.6.23-rc3 - CONFIG_VMI broken

CONFIG_VMI seems to be broken, but I am not sure when - the last
kernel I was running was 2.6.22-rc4 which used to boot fine and use
VMI. Current git with same configuration causes the kernel to reboot
early. Logs below.

Deselecting CONFIG_VMI and rebuilding allows the kernel to boot normally.

(I am running it on VMWare workstation 6 latest release.)

Thanks

Parag
