That is my quick'n'dirty patch. Worked for me.
I think it needs changes to be compatible with older kernels.
Tested with winxp32 and manjaro64bit_live VMs.

This patch is still needed and works for app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.18 .

I can confirm, it's still needed with 5.11.0 kernel and 6.1.18 kernel modules.
