No, it's not a regression.  I misread your first email btw, you have to 
unload the kvm-intel kernel module to use VMware.

VMware is a binary kernel module that's out of kernel.  KVM is not 
misbehaving and the fact that VMware breaks when the KVM module is 
loaded isn't our problem.  If they submitted their code for inclusion in 
mainline, we could possibly come up with solution for arbitrating who is 
using VT.
