+	These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
+	performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
+	expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
+	years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this

+	Kernel too. Right now we are targeting 2.6.37 but can retire earlier if

+	Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
