Does this seem like a reasonable change to make in squeeze? Ben.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [Maverick] UBUNTU: [Config] disable CONFIG_VMI
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2010 11:18:16 +0100
As indicated in the option descripion (below) Hypervisor support for VMI is
now deprecated and supporting its use is a negative for portability
of your kernel image. Turn it off.
As of September 2009, VMware has started a phased retirement
of this feature from VMware's products. Please see
feature-removal-schedule.txt for details. If you are
planning to enable this option, please note that you cannot
live migrate a VMI enabled VM to a future VMware product,
which doesn't support VMI. So if you expect your kernel to
seamlessly migrate to newer VMware products, keep this
disabled.
