These macros will be used by multiple VMWare modules for handling
host communication.
v2:
* Keeping only the minimal common platform defines
* added vmware_platform() check function
v3:
* Added new field to handle different hypervisor magic values

[PATCH 2/6] x86: Update vmware.c to use the common VMW_PORT macros
v2:
Instead of replacing all existing instances of VMWARE_PORT
with VMW_PORT, update VMWARE_PORT to use the new VMW_PORT.
v3:
Using updated VMWARE_PORT() macro, which needs hypervisor magic in the
parameter
