The fix for this needs to be done in the VBox guest modules code.
Kernels 3.5 and up do no longer export do_mmap() as public symbol, and I
doubt they ever will. do_mmap() has been used in the gest modules code
in a problematic way (as pointed out in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/4/62), and the fix for this won't be easy or
quick, if I understood the LKML poster right. So it won't be fixed in a
future kernel release but will need to be fixed in a future VBox (guest
modules) release.
