As indicated in the option descripion (below) Hypervisor support for VMI is now deprecated and supporting its use is a negative for portability of your kernel image. Turn it off. As of September 2009, VMware has started a phased retirement of this feature from VMware's products. Please see feature-removal-schedule.txt for details. If you are planning to enable this option, please note that you cannot live migrate a VMI enabled VM to a future VMware product, which doesn't support VMI. So if you expect your kernel to seamlessly migrate to newer VMware products, keep this disabled.
