for guest systems is failing. A patch is provided at
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19336. These changes have been added
to file "VirtualBox-6.1.4-VBoxClient-vmsvga-x11-crash.patch". This

is a current license and the installed pack does not match the
running version of VB, then the script downloads and installs the
new version. File "update-extpack.sh" is added.

- Merge host kmp and guest kmp into a single kmp. The existence of two different kernel module
packages is believed to be the reason that it is possible for a new kernel not to include
the necessary kernel modules (boo#1142955).
Files "virtualbox-host-kmp-files" and "virtualbox-guest-kmp-files" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-files" is added.
Files "virtualbox-host-preamble" and virtualbox-guest-preamble" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-preamble" is added.
File "fix_conflict_between_host_and_guest.patch" is added.
- Script vboxdrv.sh, which is called from the systemd service file, incorrectly called a routine
that does not exist when the kernel modules were not available. This call is changed to /sbin/vboxconfig
that will build the modules if the requisite packages are available. If that is not true, the
systemctl status vboxdrv will list the command needed to load the missing packages. This change
address part of boo#1142995.
