Isn't that supposed to be the 'vmware-any-any' patch?  I believe it 
fixes a lot of problems with VMWare on newer Linux distros.  It's a good 
idea to apply this patch regardless of whether you need it or not; at a 
minimum I think it fixes some memory issues and problems with hanging 
when a computer is shut down.

About the original poster's issue with the address space size, there is 
the possibility that your package manager has a newer kernel available 
than the one you are running.  Package managers tend to download kernel 
headers for the newest kernel, which might not be the same version as 
what you're running.  If you've upgraded your kernel at some point and 
not sure that you are running the latest version, you could just try 
restarting as well.  Yes, there are more complex ways of finding out, 
but restarting is probably the easiest if the newest kernel is always 
loaded by default.
