I've been checking those revisions and all they do is offer a new
interface by generalizing the definition of functions already there. The
old interface will use the new functions (the new interface are of the
form like sx_lock_(), the older ones like sx_xlock will expand to
sx_xlock_() which will expand to _sx_xlock or __sx_xlock as they did
previously). So perhaps I'm missing something (I just took a brief look
at the code) but I fear they are not the problem.
I will try an older kernel (as the problem has to with sx I'm going
to try with r227785) just in case.
Moreover I see some discussion in freebsd-ports@ at the of October
related to the D_PSEUDO issue where one posters made Virtualbox to work
but reported a dmesg where I can the same messages I have. At that time
the new {sx|mx} interface wasn't there.
Will report my findings soon...
