OK, I've been playing some more, including going back to VMware 1.1.2.

I upgraded:

- kernel and linux.ko to todays 4.0-stable version;
- XFree to 3.3.6;
- added rtc port;

With vmware 1.1.2 this still gives 99% system CPU but after switching
back to VMware 2.0 I now have more normal levels of CPU usage (<5%). I
have no idea where the problem has been but as far as I can see it works
now.

I now see this:

    syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff530)
	    returns 316 (0x13c)
    syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4a4,0x0)
	    returns 0 (0x0)
    syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff420,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff414)
	    returns 1 (0x1)
    syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4a4,0x0)
	    returns 0 (0x0)
    syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff530)
	    returns 316 (0x13c)
    syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4a4,0x0)
	    returns 0 (0x0)
    syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff420,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff414)
	    returns 1 (0x1)

ioctl return code is different (316 instead of 311) and select now
returns 1.
