Subject: Completely disable guestRPC vmci usage.
X-Git-Tag: 2013.04.16-1098359~25
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e5e7bee8a896912fa460e8d956ae23286b4fde4a;p=thirdparty%2Fopen-vm-tools.git

Completely disable guestRPC vmci usage.

Dis alba VMCI socket call in guestRPC completely to avoid triggering
unstable code.  Even guestRPC vmci usage is disabled on VMX side, tools
will still try to make a connection and then fall back to use backdoor
if the connection fails. This triggers potential issues.  Will do more
testing and lift this.
