lsmod shows many modules with 0 in the 'used by' column. kvm_intel or 
kvm_amd appear with a 1 even though a VM is not in use. It actually seems 
to interfere with VirtualBox and needs to be blacklisted if you want a 
permanent fix.

lsmod documentation is sparse so I don't know the implications of a module 
that is not use by anything.
