[vbox-dev] Compiling virtualbox kernel module on xen architecture

[edison su]

Hi,
    Do you run virtualbox inside a HVM guest on top of Xen? There are
some well-known issues for this kind of nested virtualization, pls
refer to http://markmail.org/message/xceueuicmmhbzvsq. You need to
apply some patches for Xen.
