Bug description:
  [SRU Template]
  * the virtualbox kernel module needs some tweaks for the new hwe kernel up to 4.11.

  same as lp: #1674819

  [Regression potential]
  This is an upstream release which includes changes beyond compatibility with the new kernel.  This is a bugfix-only release, as confirmed by the changelog at <http://paste.ubuntu.com/24229715/>.  There is some risk of unrelated regression which is mitigated by upstream testing that has been done.

  [Test case]
  Verify that virtualbox from proposed works on both the linux kernel and the linux-hwe kernel.

  I installed the latest updates (including kernel) in xenial-proposed
  and got this crash report.
