Hmm, that's really annoying, reminiscent of the old DOS days, where you might have few megs of memory, but won't be able to use it due to some bios/motherboard quirk. :-/
Can we at least have some specific section for VMWare to teak that in? We already have the HYPER-V section in that file, so it's not unheard of. At the very least other virtual machines (i.e. VirtualBox in the EFI mode or majority "real" EFI servers) do not have this restriction.
