I'm sorry... but why are you posting these patches here? Those aren't
GPL modules, and thus very offtopic for lkml, maybe except for if you
want to deliberately have people look at non-gpl code ;(

I don't like these non-gpl code myself, but it allowed me to use
Linux-2.6.22 as a base to test the new kvm and hope to migrate to kvm
soon, and I'm sure some others out there would benefit from it as
well. I don't claim the code to be perfect, but by releasing to
others, hopefully someone can tell me where to improve on.

I would strongly recommend you using my patches from http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update110.tar.gz. Patch you've created causes memory corruption on 2.6.22-rc1 (and few previous kernels, since csum_start got introduced).
Best regards,
