The default options for all file systems currently are
"defaults.relatime", which works well on file systems which support the
relatime option.
Unfortunately, this is not the case for the VirtualBox shared folder
filesystem, so until now, you need to set something like:
fileSystems."/foo" = {
device = "foo";
fsType = "vboxsf";
options = "defaults";
};
Otherwise mounting the file system would fail.
Now, we provide only the "defaults" option to the "vboxsf" file system,
so something like this is enough:
fileSystems."/foo" = {
device = "foo";
fsType = "vboxsf";
};
An alternative to that could be to document that you need to set default
options, but we really should do what users expect instead of forcing
them to look up the documentation as to why this has failed.

Unfortunately, we can't test whether USB is really working, but we can
make sure that VirtualBox has access to the USB devices.
This is essentially testing #9736, which I haven't yet been able to
reproduce though, but it makes sense to test it so it won't happen in
future releases.

Addresses #9876 in the way that we want to make sure that VirtualBox 5.x
is going to be properly detected. Right now the result is "kvm", so the
subtest fails as expected with:
error: systemd-detect-virt returned "kvm" instead of "oracle" at (eval
14) line 414, <__ANONIO__> line 92.

The previous default was $out/lib/debug, which wasn't very useful.
This ensures that you can do
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.hello.debug ];
to install debug info.
Booting the demo/installer image won't work if the video memory is too
low. It boots into KDE, shows the background image and doesn't do
anything, according to @domenkozar.
Thanks to @domenkozar for reporting and testing this with 32MB.

pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix defines HIGHMEM64G on
line 441 for 32bit systems, which implies PAE.
We now creating the OVA with PAE support enabled, which fixes bootup of
the image if people are just importing it without setting PAE
explicitly.

Makes it easier to debug and find out for which machine a certain log
socket has been started or stopped.

We're simply using antiquotation, since it's been a while since these
got introduced (in Nix 1.7). So we can use them because it makes the
code much more readable.
As usual, I made sure that I didn't accidentally change something in
functionality:
$ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix
...
/nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv
$ git stash pop
...
$ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix
...
/nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv
$

This is essentially not only "wrapping" the line but refactoring into a
shorter name which is used in two places.
And yes, I know I'm very pedantic if it comes to whitespaces and line
lengths, but I made sure this doesn't change any functionality:
$ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix
...
/nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv
$ git stash pop
...

Instead of manually setting debug to true or false, this should make it
possible to now run the test like this:
nix-build nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix --arg debug true

Sometimes there are random kernel panics do to the lack of memory in the
qemu guests, but as we're setting the VirtualBox memory size relatively
low, 1024 MB should be enough for the qemu guests.

We want to check whether DBus functionality is working, so let's make
sure it is running in our mini-initrd.
DBus unfortunately requires to have users properly set up and another
configuration file other than in ${dbus.daemon}/etc/dbus-1/system.conf,
so we do provide that as well.
