Package: virtualbox-dkms
Version: 5.1.8-dfsg-6~bpo8+2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I'm running kernels from backports on a few development machines. With the
latest version 4.9.0, virtualbox dkms does not compile any more.
The problem is related to a small change in kernel API, I include a patch.
Regards,
Antonio
