Why is this in vbox_utils.h and not exported?  Shouldn't you just put
this in drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.h?

I put it in include/linux/vbox_utils.h because that is where its
counterpart vbg_req_alloc() lives. But you're right that neither
is used outside of the vboxguest module, so I will move vbg_req_alloc()
to vboxguest_core.h for v2 and also put the new vbg_req_free() there.

Hans
