I'm not quite sure why the official Hydra gets a kernel panic in one of
two VMs using the exact same kernels:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/26339384
Because the kernel panic happens before stage 1, let's wait for the
first VM to boot up and after the bootup is done, start the second one
in hope that it won't trigger the panic.
Oddly enough, whenever I run the test on my own Hydra and on my local
machines, I don't get anything like that.

I forgot to do this in da0e642. It shouldn't be a big problem but it's
more clean to destroy the VM once we're done testing.

We previously had 1024 MB of memory to fit a VirtualBox VM with 512 MB
plus the memory needed of the VirtualBox host VM. That obviously won't
work for two VirtualBox VMs, which are used for testing networking
between two VirtualBox guests.
Now, we have 2048 MB on the qemu guest (the VirtualBox host) and 768 MB
for each VirtualBox guest. That should be enough to fit in two
VirtualBox guests (I hope).

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.

The default synaptics functionality (without this file) is limited for
clickpads: the right soft button area in the bottom right isn't active by
default, so the entire pad generates left-clicks. There is no way to
right-drag.
This file defines soft button areas and provides some matching rules.
These settings don't conflict with the synaptics options that NixOS
provides.
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

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

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
