First of all make sure you ave installed the latest Workstation version 8.0.2 and vmmon module compiles on your system and if you have not installed the latest version of the VMware Workstation version 8.0.2 build-591240 and the vmmon module compiles and then i would like to suggest you to go to the official website and then install the latest version of this.

your getting this issue sue to the iommu api change and this has been changed from iommu_found() to iommu_present(..). so to solve this issue you need to write the below on iommu_domain_alloc() without name change:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 2, 0)
#include <linux/pci.h>
#define iommu_found() iommu_present(&pci_bus_type)
#define iommu_domain_alloc() iommu_domain_alloc(&pci_bus_type)
#endif
