Locutus's xenial-proposed fix works great for me on the stock
4.13.0-37-generic kernel on my amd64 laptop.
Here's how I installed that fix on my 16.04 machine:
Start software-properties-gtk
"Developer Options" tab
Check "Pre-released updates (xenial-proposed)"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-ext-pack
virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe
Go back to software-properties-gtk and un-check pre-release to get off
the bleeding edge (otherwise your next apt update will grab lots of
proposed fixes).
Reboot to get the new dkms kernel packages, or manually install them
like this:
sudo rmmod vboxpci vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxdrv
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe vboxdrv
Start virtualbox, and your VMs should work now even with the new kernel.
