VMware Tools patches for Linux 2.6.35

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/source/open-vm-tools/bug/598542

I've provided a couple of patches for the open vm tools modules, one for vmnet and one for vsock (same as we have on the host side). In case one of the Open VM Tools devs is reading, as noted in the above bug report, even the latest code drop suffers from the vmxnet compilation errors. Once corrected, the driver does work.

PLEASE NOTE: the default virtual hardware may be set as e1000 in your .vmx file. If so, you need to change that if you want to use either the vmxnet driver or the new vmxnet3 driver (q.v., http://sanbarrow.com/vmxnet3.html).
