[PATCH v3] vbox: Enable VBOXGUEST and VBOXSF_FS on ARM64

[Christian Kujau]

Now that VirtualBox is able to run as a host on arm64 (e.g. the Apple M3 
processors) we can enable VBOXSF_FS (and in turn VBOXGUEST) for this 
architecture. Tested with various runs of bonnie++ and dbench on an Apple 
MacBook Pro with the latest Virtualbox 7.1.4 r165100 installed.

Thank you for the new version, note that v2 has already been applied
to the vfs tree though.

This is fine, the missing changelog is really not a big deal and
the changelog gets dropped on applying the patch anyways.

So this is all merged up now.

Regards,

Hans
