11.0 under virtualbox: Going from -r302180 to -r302331 required emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions rebuild despite 1100120 being unchanged

[The ports had recently been updated to -r417989 and a "portupgrade -Wa" had run to completion before the following FreeBSD 11.0 -r302180 to -r302331 upgrade was started.]

On Mac OS X 10.11.5 using FreeBSD 11.0 -r302331 under VirtualBox 5.0.24 r108355 after upgrading from FreeBSD 11.0 -r302180: The upgrade to -r302331 required me to rebuild emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions in order to get lumina to work again. Without the rebuild lumina just made a black screen and kept the cores 100% busy. Even a ACPI Shutdown selection did not stop it: I had to use more drastic means.

I did not rebuild lumina, just emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions . (As configured I manually type startx to get lumina. So I easily rebooted and worked form the console to rebuild emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions and then reboot again to try lumina.)


FYI, from after the 11.0 upgrade:

> # uname -apKU
> FreeBSD FreeBSDx64 11.0-ALPHA6 FreeBSD 11.0-ALPHA6 #5 r302331M: Sun Jul  3 14:41:34 PDT 2016     markmi_at_FreeBSDx64:/usr/obj/clang/amd64.amd64/usr/src/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG  amd64 amd64 1100120 1100120

But the "1100120 1100120" was the same before when it was at -r302180M.


I do remember at least one request/suggestion of a __FreeBSD_version bump that was never taken:

(I do not claim that -r302283 was involved in my issue, just that there was apparently at least one reason to bump the number up.)
