-What:   Support for VMware's guest paravirtuliazation technique [VMI] will be
-        dropped.
-When:   2.6.37 or earlier.
-Why:    With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
-        from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
-        techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
-        These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
-        performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
-        expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
-        years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
-        feature from the hypervisor. We will be removing this feature from the
-        Kernel too. Right now we are targeting 2.6.37 but can retire earlier if
-        technical reasons (read opportunity to remove major chunk of pvops)
-        arise.
-
-        Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
-        still work fine on VMware's platform.
-        Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
-        Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
-        releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.
