This looks like a regression in the kernel builtin module, nothing I can fix in
virtualbox side.
There have been breaking changes in newer 5.2+ virtualbox kernel modules, I
suggest to avoid having them in 16.04, and to move to 18.04 if you want a newer
codebase

My system does not start correctly with kernel 4.15 and I had to fall back to
4.13 which has working virtualbox guest modules.
