Message:

Runtime/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.c: GFP_REPEAT was renamed to GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL in 2017 with commit dcda9b04713c3f6ff0875652924844fae28286ea, so we weren't instructing the allocator to try hard to allocate memory with such kernels. Hopefully fixes VERR_NO_LOW_MEMORY errors when starting a VM
