Bug description:
  [SRU Template ]
  * the virtualbox kernel module needs some tweaks for the new kernel 4.8.
  Using 5.0.24 and patching it is not quite easy, because we get less testing and diverge from upstream.
  * We already did some minor release bump on xenial, without issues, and I think 5.0.30 is the best candidate to go in updates right now, fixing only bugs since 5.0.24 and keeping the kernel modules up-to-date.

  ext-pack and guest-additions should follow the same way

  
  (a 5.1 upload would be nice, but too many changes)

  [Impact]
  Installed mainline kernel 4.8 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64 and got this error. Should I uninstall and return to 4.7.6?
