Thanks for the new release!

There is one thing that confuses me a bit. The changelog includes:
- Linux host: compatibility fixes with Linux > 2.6.24

Should that perhaps have been >= 2.6.24?

Reason I ask is that I have been testing 2.6.25-rc2 and found that the 
virtualbox-ose vboxdrv module (using Debian packages) does still compile, 
but fails to run. The error I get is:
   vboxdrv: Unknown symbol change_page_attr

Reason is the c-p-a changes in 2.6.25 where this function has been removed 
(commits e1271f68 and d1028a15).
When I compared the 1.5.4 and 1.5.6 vboxdrv source code, it looks like 1.5.6 
still uses change_page_attr unchanged.

The kernel developers tell me that the change should be relatively simple, 
but it's beyond my skills. If anybody could point me to a patch, I'd be 
most grateful.

Cheers,
FJP
