similar to: [PATCH 09/11] vmci_resource.patch: VMCI resource hash table implementation.

Second revision of the VMware VMCI RFC patchset. It incorperates fixes for all the feedback about the comment blocks and style and now passes checkpatch with 0 errors and 0 warnings. Thanks to all who have reviewed the code thus far. * * * In an effort to improve the out-of-the-box experience with Linux kernels for VMware users, VMware is working on readying the Virtual Machine Communication

In an effort to improve the out-of-the-box experience with Linux kernels for VMware users, VMware is working on readying the Virtual Machine Communication Interface (vmw_vmci) and VMCI Sockets (vmw_vsock) kernel modules for inclusion in the Linux kernel. The purpose of this post is to acquire feedback on the vmw_vmci kernel module. The vmw_vsock kernel module will be presented in a later post.
