[Bug 1194940] Re: open-vm-dkms 2013.04.16-1098359-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [control.c:211:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘create_proc_entry’]

For control.c it could be an easy fix, instead of create_proc_entry()
it's proc_create() now and there shouldn't be an assignment to proc_fops
(it's now a parameter to proc_create). An example of a compatibility
layer is here:

http://gerrit.openafs.org/#patch,sidebyside,9948,1,src/afs/LINUX/osi_compat.h

However, I just installed Saucy and it's Linux 3.11 now, with another
problem in vmhgfs/dir.c, because file_operations.readdir is now
file_operations.iterate with a serious change to the interface. :(
