If you're trying to build out of tree modules against rawhide right
now, you're _out of your mind_.   The stuff that's in-kernel barely compiles,
(and as seen on this list and others, doesn't even boot in quite a few cases).

It should come as no surprise at all that vmware et al break horribly.
In the last week, 39MB of diffs have been merged. That's going to take
a while to calm down.
