[vmware12/vmware16] patch to allow building for 5.x kernel on 4.x base
Even though the vmware-modconfig utility has a -k switch for
specifying a different kernel version to build the modules against, the
internal Makefiles still calls uname -r to determine certain things
about how to build the modules. :-(
