virtualbox upstream always keeps their out-of-tree kernel modules and their
userspace bits in virtualbox-guest-additions in sync. AFAIK they plan to adopt
the new mount args scheme on both the out-of-tree kernel-module and userspace
side.

AFAIK the plan is to only support option strings, in which release they are
going to do that I do not know.
