We run GSX server here, which does (as you have seen) abstract the hardware 
into generic devices just like the Workstation product. I haven't looked 
into it deeply enough to know for certain, but the ESX server is meant to 
offer more of a 'bare metal' interface to hardware. Perhaps it's worth 
trying that before giving up on this route altogether?
