[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]

Now that we got a package that builds successfully, I'm going to layout
the plan.

-Later today: Update the branch to June release (including adding the new patch attached in the comment above)
-By Sunday: Input on anything that needs to changed in the patch.  Stuff that may cause issues, and can be improved upon.
-Monday or Tuesday: Create the proposal, and commit it.  As I said before, if approved, I want the main branch updated (if possible, Oneiric's branch still shows my work for Maverick's release)

As I said before, I plan on pushing the July and August releases (if no
major changes).  The August release will (as of now) have the vmmemctl,
vmxnet3, and the vmware-toolbox (NOT vmware-toolbox-cmd) manpages
removed since those components no longer exist.  The former 2 are now in
the kernel itself.

So I have an idea, how about when i push the forthcoming releases, any
issues with my patch can be fixed with that released.
