Hello,

the current version of QEMU emulates the VMware backdoor I/O port and it
works quite well. Unfortunately it doesn't emulate the VMware behavior of
ignoring the I/O permissions when accessing this special port. The attached
patch corrects it. It's important to ignore the permissions, so that user
mode VMware tools can communicate to the backdoor.

Best regards,
Filip Navara
