New in kernel-headers-2.6.28 is that beside swab.h also <linux/byteorder/swabb.h> gets included by include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h. This include makes the trouble with C++ as posted. Virtualbox comes with its own swab.h header and that gets included by src/VBox/Devices/Storage/DrvHostDVD after defining _LINUX_BYTEORDER_SWAB_H.

By defining also _LINUX_BYTEORDER_SWABB_H in src/VBox/Devices/Storage/DrvHostDVD, the inclusion of linux/byteorder/swabb.h is omitted and the build succeeds.
