[Bug 1435113] [NEW] Virtualbox host broken on Broadwell CPUs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by LocutusOfBorg (costamagnagianfranco):

Due to VirtualBox #13820 [1], Linux hosts running on Broadwell CPUs are
unable to start VirtualBox VMs.

Launching a VM hangs at 0%, and logs dmesg output like this:

[ 6204.331045] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at
00007f6f95a043e0

This issue was reportedly fixed in version 4.3.22.

Given that this bug makes VirtualBox entirely unusable on affected
machines, this seems like a plausible candidate for an SRU release.
