Once these modules are enabled in the kernel, we should disable the
modules in open-vm-tools DKMS package. The only module that should be
built via the DKMS package is vmhgfs.

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “open-vm-tools” 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
