Happens with host kernel 5.17.3-arch1-1 and Virtualbox 6.1.34 r150636

This appeared since https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/866c5c3ccbd5f32fe28c533f24e06ea471f6ba50

PS: Is it possible to add `[virtualbox]` in title so it will be listed at https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=5&string=virtualbox

Copying (replacing) /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0 from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/virtualbox-6.1.32-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst fixes the problem as of now.

The problem seems to happen upstream in the VirtualBox release, it's been reported by people using Fedora too. See the VirtualBox forums: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105815

I've fixed it by downloading the statically linked installer ov VirtualBox https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.34/VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636-Linux_amd64.run and extracting the file VBoxDDR0.r0 from it, and using that one:

```
wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.34/VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636-Linux_amd64.run
bash VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636-Linux_amd64.run --tar xf
tar -xf VirtualBox.tar.bz2
sudo cp VBoxDDR0.r0 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0
```

Upstream bug report - https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20904 I just downgraded all virtualbox related packages to 6.1.32 for now.
