 The attached patch adds an x86-64 compatible _ExecuteCommand()
 implementation for issuing a command to the VMware backdoor.

 Rather than significantly modify the code already being used for
 vmware_mouse to adopt 64-bit wide types, I just tweaked the assembly to
 remove now-illegal instructions while maintaining compatibility with the
 existing structure layout.
