Summary: vmsync module fails to build against linux 3.6.3

Initial Comment:
Version: 2012.10.14-874563
Linux Kernel: 3.6.3

Other than the "xdr_uint32_t" 
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3523224&group_id=204462&atid=989708)
 make error that still exists in this version

I have also found that all the modules compile successfully except the vmsync 
module.  Below is what shows up when I run the make command:
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
make -j4 -C /lib/modules/3.6.3/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. \
  MODULEBUILDDIR= modules

Message:
Just disable vmsync on newer kernels, this driver is not needed as long as
kernel provides FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctls.
