After upgrading virtualbox-ose-kmod to fix he build or the changes in the KPI
on main, when my Windows 10 VM exits, the memory allocated to the VM is not
freed. The next attempt to start the VM exhausts memory and the system pretty
much livelocks. I can log in via ssh and, very slowly, get a command prompt
where I can reboot the system.

Running after the first use of the VM, I find no VirtualBox processes and no
expanation for the 8MB of memory used by the VM.

Running on main-n276731-9ae138aa5c1e: Thu Apr 24 16:45:01 PDT
