virtualbox-modules_2.6.27.patch

Remove #include <asm/semaphore.h>.
It will be include for older kernels without this line.

That's not the only incompatibility with kernel-2.6.27.
Interface for smp_call_func changed as well.

Updated ebuild with patch are in my overlay:

Upstream seems unwilling to adress this in 1.6.4

Fixed in future 1.6.6 versions though
