Includes replacing existing VMXNET3 driver. Our driver was independently
developed based on the OpenSolaris driver (rather than FreeBSD).
After evaluation, it wasn't worth fixing the original code; wholesale
replacement was lower risk since the driver had been used through
the whole product and QA cycle.
