This patch will be necessary once the kernel module support will be available in
Buildroot.

I have collected several patches which fix some build issues for latest stable
3.2 kernel up to 3.14.
But this requires some invasive fixes that I don't think we want to maintain in
openvmtools package...
At least, openvmtools kernel module build and works fine with 3.2 kernel.

I will do a runtime test with all patches I have and send them to the list.
(probably next weekend)

Best regards,
Romain
