Changes between Version 3 and Version 4 of Ticket #19644, comment 56

v3	v4
2	2	For the -p4 patches, I changed to /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/vboxdrv/ and applied them like "sudo patch -p4 < ~/path/to/vb-6.0.24-kernel-5.8-p4-1.patch" on each patch. The other patch, "sudo patch -p5 < ~/path/to/vb-6.0.24-kernel-5.8-p5-1.patch". Patch 2 rejects 1 line, but it's a one-line comment saying (paraphrasing) "todo, kernel 5.8 always applies NX (No eXecute) anyway" so no problem on the reject.

4		The sharedfolder patch, I didn't use it but I suppose it's for guest extensions? Included it if you do want to try patching guest extensions, but I didn't try it. I'm guessing it's possible to run 6.1.x guest additions if I need to run a 5.8+ VM (running non-matching guest additions is likely not supported, but neither is vb 6.0.x series anyway.)
