  fwiw, the current 6.1.X test builds contain the current 5.7 changes  
already, pick up:

Guest Additions 6.1.x revision 137519
https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.7-137519.iso

and for the host from:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
Linux 64-bit 6.1.x revision 137519
Linux EL6 64-bit 6.1.x revision 137519
Linux EL7 64-bit 6.1.x revision 137519
Linux EL8 64-bit 6.1.x revision 137519

we still need to release new test builds for trunk though.
