= SUMMARY =
this patch addresses the overarching virtualbox host linux kernel module source code and not the specific problem of integrating it into the dkms package/setup (which is left as an exercise to the reader). i demonstrate how to use the below patch with the virtual-source package (which is how i compile the virtualbox linux kernel modules).

= HOW-TO =
 * cd /usr/src
 * apt-get install virtualbox-source linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty module-assistant multitee
 * tar -xf virtualbox.tar.bz2
 * patch -p1 <virtualbox-source-vs-linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty.patch
 * m-a -t --not-unpack -k /usr/src/linux/ build virtualbox 2>&1 | multitee 0-1,2 2>virtualbox.log
 * dpkg -i virtualbox-modules-3.13.0-34-generic_4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.6+3.13.0-34.60~precise1_amd64.deb
