I propose to use the patch from #3, but refresh it against the current
sources. Then use dkms.conf to apply it to 3.5 only. This will not cause
regressions with the 3.2 Precise kernel for sure, but it allows the
currently broken quantal lts kernel to build.
As a quick hack, I downloaded the patch to /etc/dkms/ and post-processed
it to allow DKMS to accept the patch:
sed 's,/src/VBox/Runtime,,' 38-fix-for-3.5-kernel.patch -i
Next, I created /etc/dkms/virtualbox.conf containing:
PATCH[0]=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/dkms/38-fix-for-3.5-kernel.patch
PATCH_MATCH[0]=^3.5
(the definitive fix for ubuntu should put the patch in
/usr/src/virtualbox-*/patches which allows the ../...../etc/dkms/ part to be
stripped)
Result:
# dkms -m virtualbox -v 4.1.12 install
