similar to: [PATCH 4/6] Input: Remove vmmouse port reservation

Port reservation is not required. Furthermore, this port is shared by other VMware services for host-side communication.

This port is used by quite a few guest-to-host communication capabilities, e.g. getting configuration, logging, etc. Currently multiple kernel modules, and one or more priviledged guest user mode app, e.g. open-vm-tools, use this port without reservation. It was determined that no reservation is required when accessing the port in this manner. Signed-off-by: Sinclair Yeh <syeh at
