Dear Maintainer,

But bevare fixind the include file path (drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.h) doesn't
work at all the virtualbox doesn't start.
Do all of these modules even need to be built using dkms anymore? It
looks like some of them have been mainlined (though I haven't compared
the code):
It looks like virtualbox-guest-dkms builds 3 modules:
# cd /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest
# find . -name \*.ko
./6.0.10/5.0.0-trunk-amd64/x86_64/module/vboxguest.ko
./6.0.10/5.0.0-trunk-amd64/x86_64/module/vboxsf.ko
./6.0.10/5.0.0-trunk-amd64/x86_64/module/vboxvideo.ko
Out of those three modules, it seems like only vboxsf.ko still needs to
be built on recent kernels:
root@syra:/lib/modules# find . -name vboxguest.ko -o -name vboxsf.ko -o
-name vboxvideo.ko
./5.0.0-trunk-amd64/kernel/drivers/staging/vboxvideo/vboxvideo.ko
./5.0.0-trunk-amd64/kernel/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest.ko
./5.0.0-trunk-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxguest.ko
./5.0.0-trunk-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxsf.ko
./5.0.0-trunk-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxvideo.ko
./4.19.0-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/staging/vboxvideo/vboxvideo.ko
./4.19.0-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest.ko
./5.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vboxvideo/vboxvideo.ko
./5.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest.ko
(split for readability)
I haven't gotten around to testing, but it looks like maybe all that
needs to be done is to disable building some of these modules after a
certain kernel version.
