Kudos to Oracle on Virtualbox working seamlessly with the 5.12 kernel!

For the past several years, running Archlinux, I have cringed each time there
was a kernel version update, because virtualbox would break, failing to build
the kernel modules or kernel panics on headless guests. Granted, Arch is
generally no more than a few days behind upstream and a week or so with the
kernel, but I can't remember the last kernel version update where Virtualbox
didn't break, until... Today!

Saw the 5.12 kernel would be installed as an update, so I checked the vbox
download site and a shiny new 6.1.22 was there. Checked, 5.12 support was
included, so I updated vbox and then told pacman to go for it.

A few minutes later, after the successful DKMS module build and a reboot --
bingo, it's all working swimmingly.

So kudos Oracle, job well done.

With 5.12, we now have a winning streak of 1 -- let's see many consecutive
kernel version updates we can keep this going...
