-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.
-
-	For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,
