Bug Description
After upgrading from linux 3.2.0-24.39 to 3.2.0-25.40, my computer will no longer shut down after using a VirtualBox virtual machine. The following is printed every 10 seconds when it tries to unload the VirtualBox networking modules:
unregister_
To shut down, I have to hold down on the power button for 5 seconds to power off.
This bug has been reported to VirtualBox. A fix for their network driver has been committed to their svn repository, but a release with the fix is not yet available:

It looks like the culprit is the kernel changes to net/dev/core.c between 3.2.16 and 3.2.18.
I'm guessing this is a bug in VirtualBox that was only exposed when the kernel code changed, but it might be a bug in the kernel that the VirtualBox devs had to work around. Either way, I'm guessing lots of people will experience this issue if the new kernel hits -updates.

[Impact]
Unable to unload vbox kernel modules.
Shutting down the computer no longer works.
Forcing shutdown is only possible with SysRq keys.
[Test Case]
- Make sure you are running kernel 3.2.0-25
- Start a virtual machine with a host only networking device
- Shutdown the VM and quit the main VirtualBox window
- Check with "ifconfig" that a vboxnetX device is active
- Run "sudo service virtualbox stop"
- Command should exit normally
