[Bug 776103] Re: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h

[Nate Muench]

Just pushed to my Virtual Test PPA.  This doesn't have
2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu4 because as I said, I can't access the GUI on
my Oneiric Alpha 2 VM because of the GDM freezing up.  And I can't
create pbuilder environment (apparently debootstrap is being a pain in
the ass), so we'll have to wait 5 hours to see if the patch works.  I'm
saying there is a 40% that it'll work.

If Successful, I'm going to copy the source to my regular PPA and
rebuild for Natty, just because.

The Original Bug Report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3354213&group_id=204462&atid=989708

The report was closed for being "out of date."  And it was kind of was,
but I adapted it (sans one section that said it was only for 8.4.2,
which is why I say 40%).  And the patch was made for Fedora 15, which
has GCC 4.6.0.
