SE Linux has no relevance when running as a guest inside VMware.  Whether SE 
Linux is running or not won't even be known by VMware, and SE Linux isn't at 
the level that is concerned about hardware.

For running VMware on a SE Linux host there is policy for doing so, but it has 
all users running VMware sessions in the same context.  I will probably 
re-write the VMware policy to give different domains for running VMware from 
different roles, so we'll have a staff_vmware_t, a user_vmware_t, etc.
