As a test you can apply the following mod to sys/i386/include/pmap.h
and re-compile vboxdrv.ko. It fixed the problem for me but I'm by no
means an expert on the i386 pmap stuff so use at your own risk. Also
revert the change to pmap.h after re-compiling vboxdrv just so that
you don't inadvertently break something else.
