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)

  CHANGES since the last version:

   VirtualBox 5.0.32 (released 2017-01-17)

  This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or
  added:

      GUI: fixed a problem where the new version detected dialog was covered by the appliance import dialog (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #16238)
      Storage: fixed a problem with the LsiLogic SCSI controller where requests could be lost with SMP guests
      OVF: when importing appliances, make sure that the version of the embedded VirtualBox specific settings is processed, to get the default settings handling right
      Linux hosts: automatically disable asynchronous I/O on Linux 2.6.18 kernels as high I/O load may trigger kernel oopses on these kernels if this feature is enabled
      API: don't crash when sanitizing certain VM names (bug #16299)
      Linux hosts / guests: Linux 2.6.28 compile fix (bug #16267)
      Linux hosts: compile Linux 4.9 compile fix (bug #16286)
      Linux hosts: Linux 4.10 fixes
      Linux Additions: fixed protocol error during certain operations on shared folders (bug #8463) 

   VirtualBox 5.0.30 (released 2016-11-23)
      Storage: fixed resizing VDI images resulting in an unbootable image under certain circumstances (bug #15983)

      Audio: fixed recording glitches (Mac OS X hosts)
      Audio: fixed stream re-initialization on audio device change (Mac OS X hosts)
      Windows hosts: hardening fix for Windows 10 build 14971 (bug #16202)
      Linux hosts / guests: Linux 4.8 and 4.9 fixes (bugs #16081, #16132 and #16116)
  VirtualBox 5.0.28 (released 2016-10-18)
      NAT: Don't exceed the maximum number of "search" suffixes. Patch from bug #15948.
      NAT: fixed parsing of port-forwarding rules with a name which contains a slash (bug #16002)
      NAT Network: when the host has only loopback nameserver that cannot be mapped to the guests (e.g. dnsmasq running on 127.0.1.1), make DHCP supply NAT Network DNS proxy as nameserver.
      Bridged Network: prevent flooding syslog with packet allocation error messages (bug #15569)
      USB: fixed a possible crash when detaching a USB device
      Audio: fixes for recording (Mac OS X hosts only)
      Audio: now using Audio Queues on Mac OS X hosts
      OVF: improve importing of VMs created by VirtualBox 5.1
      VHDX: fixed cloning images with VBoxManage clonehd (bug #14288)
      Storage: Fixed broken bandwidth limitation when the limit is very low (bug #14982)
      Serial: Fixed high CPU usage with certain USB to serial converters on Linux hosts (bug #7796)
      BIOS: fixed 4bpp scanline calculation (bug #15787)
      VBoxManage: Don't try to set the medium type if there is no change (bug #13850)
      API: fixed initialization of SAS controllers (bug #15972)
      Linux hosts: don't use 32-bit legacy capabilities
      Linux hosts / guests: fix for kernels with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK set (bug #16020)
      Linux Additions: several fixes for X11 guests running non-root X servers
      Linux Additions: fix for Linux 4.7 (bug #15769)
      Linux Additions: fix for the display kmod driver with Linux 4.8 (bugs #15890 and #15896)
      Windows Additions: auto-resizing fixes for Windows 10 guests (bug #15257)
      Windows Additions: fixes for arranging the guest screens in multi-screen scenarios
      Windows Additions / VGA: if the guest's power management turns a virtual screen off, blank the corresponding VM window rather than hide the VM window
      Windows Additions: fixed a generic bug which could lead to freezing shared folders (bug #15662)

  VirtualBox 5.0.26 (released 2016-07-18)
      VMM: fixed a bug in the task switching code (ticket #15571)

      Audio: improved recording from USB headsets and other sources which might need conversion of captured data
      Audio: fixed regression of not having any audio available on Solaris hosts
      VGA: fixed an occasional hang when running Windows guests with 3D enabled
      Storage: fixed a possible endless reconnect loop for the iSCSI backend if connecting to the target succeeds but further I/O requests cause a disconnect
      Storage: fixed a bug when resizing certain VDI images which resulted in using the whole disk on the host (bug #15582)
      EFI: fixed access to devices attached to SATA port 2 and higher (bug #15607)
      API: fixed video recording with VBoxHeadless (bug #15443)
      API: don't crash if there is no graphics controller configured (bug #15628)
      VBoxSVC: fixed several memory leaks when handling .dmg images
      Solaris hosts: fixed a crash on hosts with certain CPU configurations
      Windows hosts: properly fall back to NDIS5 on pre-Vista hosts on silent installations

  [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?

  [ Regression Potential ]
  * it should be minimal, even if the debdiff looks scary, upstream has testsuites and a lot of people testing it.
  Not diverging from upstream makes me more confident about the sanity of the upload.
  (I would be more scared about cherry-picking individual patches because the kernel module might affect the interation with the virtulabox code, and it is not trivial to extract such patches)
