Refresh vmblock & vmnet.
Fix build on 2.6.24-rc2,3. 2.6.24-rc1 is not supported, please upgrade.

I'm using Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.24-1-686. Just did the following and successfully compiled:

• replaced asm/bitops by linux/bitops in vmmon

• ran the command: m-a --not-unpack --force --text-mode --userdir /l/down/vmware-any-any build vmware-any-any-kernel-source

The --not-unpack clause is needed so module-assistant does not overwrite the patched file.
