Sorry, that I haven't committed the patch until now. Do you agree that
this patch is licensed under MIT License so I can send it upstream?

Current VIMAGE support is only for vboxnetflt and you are touching
vboxnetadp so that is probably why nobody used it before. Have you
tested it with a non VIMAGE kernel?
