Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-3
Severity: important

Hi,
virtualbox doesn't work on Broadwell CPUs; all VMs fail to start no
matter what the user configures in the VM settings.

This was reported upstream at https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13820

I verified that the patch by Frank works on my Thinkpad X250 with such
a CPU. I'm attaching a suitable Debian diff.

Please fix this for the jessie 8.1 point release, Broadwell CPUs will
become increasingly popular and Vbox is completely broken on them.

Cheers,
        Moritz
