Motivation for this change
VirtualBox does not build with kernel 5.3 which is default with linuxPackages_latest.
Things done
Found a fix that hasn't yet been released for VirutalBox at https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18911 and added as a patch to the build.
Running nix-review but it's compiling several kernel versions at once so it may take a while.
