 Your patch makes VmWare2 build, but it doesn't make it work:
 
 - VmWare fails to allocate memory (see
 http://anders.fix.no/test/vmware/1.png and
 http://anders.fix.no/test/vmware/2.png).
 - There seems to be something wrong with vmmon, some error messages are
 reported to my console log:

 Oh, and FreeBSD gets unstable with these patches of yours. I've seen
 several hard hangs.
 
 I cleaned up the patch to be relative to the current port (patch
 attached). I'm applying your patch (pmap.patch-stable) if OSVERSION is
 less than 500000, and higher or equal to 480101 (which was used at the
 time of the PAE MFC).
 
 For those on the Cc: list, I added you because you committed PAE/pmap
 things, are on the -stable list or maintain the vmware2 port. :)
 
 Any tips or improvements to the patch to make VmWare2 work in FreeBSD
 again is very welcome. If we want VmWare supported in -stable at all
 (4.9 being right around the corner and all), this must be dealt with
 ASAP.
 
 Feel free to use me for testing your suggestions.
 
 Cheers,

 Anders.
