The 4 first patches can still be applied on the current master and I could 
apply the fifth one by rebasing Peter Krempa's repo on current master and 
then regenerating the patch and apply it. 
They work flawlessly with VirtualBox 4.2.12 r84980.
Could anyone review them for inclusion? If necessary I'm willing to make 
some changes to those patches and/or to provide the rebased fifth patch.
