Bug Description
uname -a
Linux mb 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
vmware-config.pl terminates with error:
Building the vmmon module.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

Unable to build the vmmon module.
There is no linux/bitops.h in linux headers and no include/
So what happened to it as I configured vmware before (7.10)
VMWare needs to update their module to build with a more recent kernel.
