Just noting that with the latest system and virtualbox updates that this
problem has gone away.

I have no idea why it ever happened, but virtualbox is now stable, and
the kernel memory is now only 300MB at the end of the day instead of
12GB. It's still more than is ideal I guess, but it no longer is a big
problem. Just as well seeing as I have other problems to fix now XD
