Not much -- this is just panic I had in the same timeframe and solved it
by disabling and, consequently rebuilding, Virtual Box kernel modules. I
assume you either not loading or did disable the remaining two:
vboxnetflt.ko and vboxnetadp.ko. 

I guess any third-party modules (webcam, qemu, etc.) would be good
candidates for being disabled -- it seams like there were changes in the
kernel which required rebuild of them.

Outside of that -- sorry, out of ideas.
