Kernel – 4.13-rc6 Released – Still OK..
Kernel 4.13-rc6 is out, and brief details of changes are here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1708.2/03592.html
As the message mentions, if all goes well, then 4.13 Final should be out in about two weeks time from now..
The release is still OK with the latest NVIDIA (tested with 384.59) and (patched) VMware 12.5.7. Unfortunately, there is still no 12.5.8 release with compatibility with GCC 7 etc., but workarounds and scripts for this are in previous articles, and comments..

I don’t know, what are the differences with the Kernel you use, but i can’t run any VM with kernel 4.13-rcX.
After clicking start, i get “Cannot allocate memory to virtual machine” every time. With kernel 4.12.x all is fine.
Same problem for me, I always get “Cannot allocate memory to virtual machine” with kernel 4.13 taken from Ubuntu repository at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/
Probably this patch is not enough to make VMware correctly work with kernel 4.13
