MacOS kernel panic when Linux guest enter sleep mode

[Mikael Strom]

Hi,

After update to 6.0.14 i had my first kernel panic ever on my iMac.

The guest OS (vanilla Arch Linux, 64 bit) entered sleep mode and the host computer (iMac 27" early 2013) rebooted instantly due to kernel panic in the VirtualBox kext. MacOS panic report:

Apparently, this is a duplicate of "Kernel Panic - Bluetooth, Mac OS X 10.14.3 Mojave (#18107)", and I might have misinterpreted the cause, i.e. not that the client went to sleep but rather intermittent disconnection of bluetooth keyboard.

After reading that thread, the following resolved my issues:
