Ideally virtualbox should at least have a dependency to address this, |
| 12 |
and I suspect one would be added if you file a bug (or the problem |
| 13 |
would be fixed). |

This is one of the reasons I tend to stick to longterm kernels that I |
| 16 |
choose. It sounds like the stable kernel team is going to start |
| 17 |
moving in this direction which should result in more timely updates |
| 18 |
but less breakage. I believe you'd be on 4.9 if they stuck to |
| 19 |
longterm. |
