vmware device works correctly
The code to disable the vmware devices is not present upstream, so we need to include it upstream first, before adding --disable-vmware to our code. Setting Conditional NAK: Upstream. Disabling the devices will break migration from older versions (thanks Paolo Bonzini for spotting that). bug #677712 was open for the issue. Patches have been applied and work well. So this bug have been verified.
