The change from 5 parameters to 6 parameters is recent: main's 0659df6faddf
as of 2021-01-12 23:35:22 +0000 (commit).  Its one line description is:

QUOTE
vm_map_protect: allow to set prot and max_prot in one go
END QUOTE

It added a "int flags" parameter.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252952 is about:

vm_map_protect manual page requires an update after 0659df6faddf . . .

(So if there was a problem about a month ago, there may be another
problem as well as the above that was something else, the above just
happens first now.)

Looks like emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod needs to track the kernel
change(s).
