Upgraded to gentoo-sources-6.12.1 today, and rebuilt my drivers to match. When I attempted to start a virtualBox machine, it failed, saying, "Virtualbox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot" This seems to be a problem known to archlinux because they have released version 7.1.4-2 to counteract it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301155 There is a patch available here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/virtualbox/-/commit/e99e49f8fa8b18791c42a4aafd7da76fb6772b04 I haven't worked out how to apply the patch yet, but will see if I can and if so, will upload it here.

Sorry, should have digested the patches better... All of that patching just stops kvm from starting on kernel load. This can be done by adding the kernel boot parameter: kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0 or if you have kvm as a module, creating a virtualbox.modprobe (or similar) blocking the automatic enabling of the kvm module: options kvm enable_virt_at_load=0 Why can't we all just play nicely together?
Thank you for the report. If you were using branch 7.0, you could try virtualbox-kvm (experimental, currently masked), maybe it works. Unfortunately they haven't released a patch compatible to branch 7.1 yet. I will add that entry to modprobe.d.
