The proposed changes allowed me to install VirtualBox and for it to build
successfully, however, every Virtual Machine crashes not only itself but Li
ux itself when you try to boot one. These virtual machines work everywhere
else. There's still a major bug.

  [Impact]
  Users are not able to use virtualbox from the repository on 12.04 with 3.5 kernel. It is totally broken.
  The patch proposed backports only the relevant parts from upstream to fix the bug.
  The patch is from: https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/41660/vbox

  [Test Case]
  Upgrade to 3.5 kernel on 12.04 and install virtualbox.

  [Development Fix]
  Fixed during Quantal cycle.

  [Stable Fix]
  Is being fixed in 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.3 upload to precise-proposed.

  [Regression Potential]
  It is best to use the latest upstream version. But since that will cause major disruption, we have to track this package and corresponding bugs for regressions.

  jamespage: Please also check backwards compatibility with the 3.2
  kernel; the patch should support this but best to make sure (not all
  12.04 installs with have 3.5).
