Bug Description

On mythbuntu 10.04, virtualbox-ose-dkms doesn't install because the kernel module doesn't build:

var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.6/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c: In function ‘VBoxDrvLinuxInit’:
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.6/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:443: error: ‘nmi_watchdog’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.6/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:443: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.6/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:443: error: for each function it appears in.)
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.6/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:443: error: ‘NMI_IO_APIC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.6/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:457: error: ‘nmi_active’ undeclared (first use

I'm not running the usual kernel for 10.04. I'm running 2.6.38, because lirc wasn't working with the standard kernel.

However, I suspect that the fact that I'm using a non-default kernel is the reason that the virtualbox kernel modules
won't build.
