 * the vmx nor the vmkernel define these variables in order to force all 
 * code in these (performance critical) components to use the constant 
 * version of AtomicUseFence from vm_atomic.h.
 * For other components, we continue to define the variables to allow the
 * code to work whether it is compiled with VMX86_SERVER set or not. This
 * is conservative but the performance penalty should be minimal. And it
 * is a (longer term) temporary sitation: when we eventually remove Rev F 
 * support from our hosted products, this will all go away.
