VMware guests using GNU/Linux kernel 2.6.16+ and clock/clocksource

From kernel 2.6.16 the clock= command line option is deprecated and the following option should be used:

clocksource=acpi_pm

The following option may be better suited to a Linux guest with kernel 2.6.21 or later and to VMware products such as VMware Workstation 6 that provide “VMware paravirtual kernel support”:

clocksource=vmi-timer
