The Virtualbox developers have segregated themselves into a walled garden
of their own choice (only subscribers may post to vbox-dev; you have to
sign up to join their forums, etc, etc.).  So in the hopes of reaching
anybody who cares, here is a patch to Virtualbox to handle the recent
VFS change of replacing ->get_sb with ->mount.

This isn't enough to get virtualbox to compile with a recent kernel.
The DRM change that replaced pci_driver with kdriver seems harder to ifdef
a solution to.  Maybe somebody else out there has already done this work
and is similarly waiting for somebody else to do the VFS portion :-)
