[SOLVED] Virtualbox-host-dkms module not compatible with Linux 3.17rc

Using the linux-mainline package from aur, was unable to get dkms to compile the vboxdrv module. Mainline is currently at around 3.17rc3, didn't work at rc1 either.

Apparently a patch has already been made, it is available at:

Loaded the abs system and applied the patch from the forum:

Patch works like a charm. I have compiled the package, if anyone else would like to save some cpu cycles and time, I wouldn't mind uploading it if there is somewhere it can be posted.
