Modified the title so this could include multiple modules. vmxnet3 is
already in the main package, but vsock.ko and
vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko are not but likely should. There is a vmwgfx
driver, too but the target is probably more  server type which does not
need accelerated gfx. Also right now there is no other drm driver in the
main package.

** Summary changed:

- move vmware modules (vmci, vsock, vxnet3) from linux-image-extra to linux-image-virtual
+ Move vmware related modules from extras into main kernel package

Title:
  Move vmware related modules from extras into main kernel package

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmw_vmci.ko,
  net/vmw_vsock/vmw_vsock_vmci_transport.ko and net/vmw_vsock/vsock.ko
  are currently in linux-image-extra. Due to a sync of open-vm-tools and
  an open MIR on open-vm-tools, these modules are needed in the regular
  kernel.

  Bug #1220950 open-vm-tools
