Summary: asm/semaphore.h no longer exists in kernel tree

Initial Comment:
Hello,

Due to some changes in the kernel tree, asm/semaphore.h does no longer exist.

This currently stops from compiling open-vm-tools (module vmhgfs)

When I find some time, I'll try to prepare a patch (it would be a simple one, 
as it most likely only has to be changed to linux/semaphore.h, but the 
complexity will be not breaking the old kernel compatibility.. like always :) )

If you happen to already have a fix for this, please let me know.. so we do not 
double-invest time on it.

(last version I tested was open-vm-tools 2008-08-08 against kernel 2.6.27-rc3)

I'm not able to attach the patch to this bug report for some reason. I've
added it to the "Development Snapshots" section of the download area.
Here's a direct link:

Having some problems uploading the file; hopefully compressing it will
help.

Yeah, don't bother putting together a patch, we've already got something
in-tree. Try this out; it'll be in the next code refresh.
