[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, your efforts are much appreciated and I'll be following them with
great interest. While I still use the proprietary VMWare Tools [8.4.6
Build 385536] on my Ubuntu 11.04 guest [kernel 2.6.39-3], they seem to
be quite broken on Debian Sid [kernel 2.6.39-1].

I was quite sure they would still build on the rc7 kernel for which
Debian Unstable obliged me to create my own kbuild infrastructure (quite
educational for a novice).

Since the Debian version, even in Unstable, is quite ancient
[8.4.2-261024-1], I am becoming quite desperate.

Desperate enough to perhaps install an Ubuntu package on Debian ;-)

Cheers.
