Just a heads-up to all the distro maintainers that read this list. I have not 
found a fix that works to allocate executable memory in vboxdrv. When kernel 
5.8.0 is released, EVERY VM on a host trying to run that kernel will break! The 
ticket shown above has my fixes for the other API changes in 5.8, but the 
removal of the exports to allocate executable memory are not fixed.
