Created attachment 460530 [details, diff]
patch for kernel 4.10

Kernel 4.10 has 
struct taint_flag {
	char true;	/* character printed when tainted */
	char false;	/* character printed when not tainted */
	bool module;	/* also show as a per-module taint flag */
};

which won't compile if any macro defining 'true' or 'false' is in effect.

Is it the right way to patch the .ORIG-files?

There was something in an older vbox bug I don't remember.

I don't know why but app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.1.14::gentoo built now for me without a special patch against kernel 4.10.0-rc5.
