-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.
