[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]

I'm going to upload refreshed diffs/patches of my work as it is now.

First, notes:
* Everything is working fine, except the Num Lock won't turn on after logging in.
* I've uploaded new packaging to my Virtual Test repo.  When it succeeds, I'm going to push Natty Package.  For a trial Natty-to-Oneiric upgrade of the package with Natty.
* I want to push this (the Proposal) to the main repo by (or after the release of) Alpha 3 (which will be the July packaging).  This assumes nothing major changes (like the Toolbox (GUI) getting removed) for the June and July releases.
* This will allow me to do a clean install of my open-vm-tools packaging in Alpha 2.  And the afore mentioned test to see if the new packaging upgrades successfully with Natty

Second, the refreshed package diffs (Part 1).  These were done with my
working repo and the packaging in the Oneiric (not the Oneiric branch).
The Patches we're not applied.
