Description

VirtualBox supports supplying VMs with additional data using the setextradata command in VBoxManage. Setting data here is sometimes necessary to get guests to boot on unfamiliar systems (such as by telling the guest not to try to read SMC data from the host).

As this is VirtualBox-specific, it's implemented using a magic value to the customize block.
