Ideally virtualbox should at least have a dependency to address this, and I suspect one would be added if you file a bug (or the problem would be fixed). This is one of the reasons I tend to stick to longterm kernels that I choose. It sounds like the stable kernel team is going to start moving in this direction which should result in more timely updates but less breakage. I believe you'd be on 4.9 if they stuck to longterm. -- Rich
