If you build the ACPI processor kernel driver as a module, you can add
the following to /etc/modules.d/acpi:

options processor max_cstate=1

Then run modules-update and add "processor" to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.

The downside is that this uses (slightly) more power when you are not
running vmware.
