[Test Plan] * Boot virtualbox images * Check that guest-modules based integration still works. [Where problems could occur] * There might be differences between the linux kernel provided modules, guest userspace & host userspace tooling. If there are any differences, we would have to resolve the issues as needed to maintain backwards & forwards compatibility. [Other Info] * virtualbox guest modules fail to build from source with recent kernels.
