OK I'm trying do this , how vboxguest.ko is loaded in boot time ?
Before we loaded with /usr/lib/modules-load.d/VirtualBox.conf file but now
we
don't add any file to add /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ ...
The guest interface is a virtual PCI device, so the module gets autoloaded as
it exports a pci-id table matching the virtual PCI device IDs.
Likewise the new vboxsf driver exports a fs-type, so it too will be autoloaded
when you try to mount a mount with a "-t vboxsf".

OK, this raise me one question when kernel 4.16 go to F27 what I should do ?
seems to me this is more if kernel than if fedora version
I will make sure that the vboxguest driver gets disabled for F27 kernel builds.

OK

I'm trying :)

again depends on kernel version , I can't do this on a kernel of F26 or of
epel 7, isn't it ?
So have 2 codes for vboxsf is more complicated
See above.
