Yes, it looks like it.

This patch is part of a series which are here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=x86/vmware

so you need the patches before it.

I don't know what you guys are doing to track patches but if you really
wanna test trees, I'd suggest simply testing TIP's tip/master branch
which gets redone on a daily basis instead of testing patches in the
tip-bot{,2} notification mails.

Thx.
