This appears to be the only change necessary to make minikube work on Big Sur x86_64. I built the patched binary, deployed under /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vkd/bin (from which the binary is symlinked into ../../Contents/Public).
I ran minikube start --cpus=2 --memory=8192 --vm-driver=vmware --alsologtostderr --v=8 and verified it's working by starting some deployments with kubectl
