Just updated to kernel 3.6.3, and this works OK with the latest NVIDIA driver (310.14) and VMware W/S 9.0 (with the 3.5 patch)..

$ uname -a
Linux rglinux 3.6.3 #1 SMP Sun Oct 21 20:28:25 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  The detail – and a link to the patch information, on the VMware forum – is in my original post:

  You may find that, even after the patch has been successful, VMware will not start, and you actually need to _reboot_ your Linux system, and then it should be OK after that..
  The same patch should be good for kernel 3.6.3 as well..
  Good luck!
  Robert.
