The guest interface is a virtual PCI device, so the module gets autoloaded as
it exports a pci-id table matching the virtual PCI device IDs.

Likewise the new vboxsf driver exports a fs-type, so it too will be autoloaded
when you try to mount a mount with a "-t vboxsf".

I will make sure that the vboxguest driver gets disabled for F27 kernel builds.

See above.
