I have tried to compile VirtualBox
(https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=89340), but was
stuck in dtrace probes failure. No support from VB guys can be expected...

So, I have switched to KVM. Not ideal - but what choice I had IF I want
to keep OI (because native zfs support)?

With best regards.
