Right now for rawhide you still need to build vboxsf.ko.

Yes, with this code you can use the vboxguest which ships with 4.16-rc1+ in
rawhide and build a vboxsf.ko against it.

Note you only need to build vboxsf for rawhide, vboxguest is already there and
should not be replaced.

I do not plan to add this package to EPEL7.
I also will not add this package to F27.

The vboxguest driver lives under drivers/virt. vboxvideo is still in
drivers/staging.

Hans
