Re: rt8 and virtualbox-dkms

For reference, here's how we solved this now for Manjarolinux (Thank's a lot, Sebastian, for your advice!)

For 4.6.x_rt series we have added a specific define:

KBUILD_CPPFLAGS := -D__KERNEL__ -DRT_PATCHED

and extended Oracle's pending linux48 patch
(https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/63341/vbox)
by testing:

# if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 8, 0) || defined(RT_PATCHED)

Against virtualbox-extramodules patched like that we are now able to compile regular linux46 and 47 aswell as rt-patched 46.

So does that mean the rt-kernel will no longer run VirtualBox??
This change will be part of v4.8. If virtualbox wants to work with v4.8+
they need to update their code. Once this happens, it will work with
-RT.
