Bug Description

64bit instances launched on ESX via the VCDriver will not support running 64bit guests.

There is an option that can be passed during the vmx creation that will allow for this to happen.

This is very useful if you want to run hypervisors (esx, kvm) on top of ESX and then run 64bit VMs on top of those hypervisors.
