Linux 6.14 To Allow VirtualBox Guest Support On ARM64 VMs


The Linux 6.14 kernel will enable the VirtualBox guest drivers to be built for ARM64 Linux virtual machines (VMs).

Coming in as part of the VFS misc pull request for Linux 6.14 is enabling initial VirtualBox guest support on ARM64. This amounts to a Kconfig update for allowing the VirtualBox guest driver support to be built for ARM64 rather than being limited to x86/x86_64 kernels. This change comes now that Oracle VM VirtualBox is beginning to run on ARM64 hosts such as the Apple M3/M4 devices.
