Here is a patch I use to compile the open-vm-tools modules on trusty (linux 3.12). It's a mix of a patch I found on the internet [0] and some changes for uid_t -> kuid_t and gid_t -> kgid_t based on information I found in the linux headers. So it would be good if someone familiar with the kernel took a look on this patch.

I mostly use the vmhgfs module to mount the shared folders from VMWare and didn't have an problems with this patch yet.
