Can you say how this benefits Xen to detect this and take
advantage of it? Or is this Xen emulating VMWare so to a guest
it looks like its running under VMWare?
This is Xen emulating part of VMWare. Some parts of guests will think
it is running on VMware.

Thank you.
for info on detecting VMware.
Linux does not follow this exactly. It checks for CPUID 1st. If
that fails, it checks for SMBIOS containing "VMware" (not VMware- or
VMW).
So this patch set provides:
SMBIOS -- Add string VMware-
CPUID -- Add VMware's CPUID (Note: currently HyperV (viridian support)
breaks this check.)
Add the magic VMware port
Allow VMware tools poweroff and reboot
Enable access to VMware's guest info
Provide the VMware tools build number
Don Slutz (10):
smbios: Add "plus VMware-Tools" to HVM_XS_SYSTEM_PRODUCT_NAME.
Add VMware HVM params
Add cpuid_vmware_leaves
tools: Add support for new HVM params
vmport: Add VMware provided include files.
Add vmport structs
Add new vmport code.
connect vmport up
libxl: Add VTPOWER, VTREBOOT and VTPING
Add VMware guest info access
