"vboxreload" does not seem to be present in the current release. At least, I cannot find any executable by that name.
Integrating the extension is possible, but not done on purpose. As there is a separate license for the extension pack, not all users may automatically want this.
You can install vbox-ext-oracle from AUR if you want it. Unfortunately, despite repeated requests, I am not a (co-)maintainer of that package, so am unable to keep these two packages in sync.

Would it be possible to do the following:
1. Integrate the vboxreload command
2. Keep the already installed VBox Extension Module (then the update mechanism should kick in as it does in the Arch package)
Thanks, also for taking care of the AUR packagage!
Rainmaker commented on 2016-08-30 11:15 (UTC)
Good catch. Also, virtualbox-ose no longer exists.
I've altered it locally, but don't feel this justifies a new release. I'll stage the change, but will push it when the next virtualbox version is released.

The conflicts are wrong. The host modules have been renamed?
virtualbox-host-dkms
virtualbox-host-modules-arch

Thank you for the patch k0ste.
k0ste commented on 2016-04-03 10:30 (UTC)
This patch fix:
- Modules now build;
- Modules build via ALPM hook;
- Load all vbox modules (because we need network);
- modules-load.d in /usr, not /etc (etc for users, usr for packages);

Could you check whether there is a "dkms.conf" file in /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.16/source/?
This directory should be a symlink to /opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxhost
It is done at the very end of the PKGBUILD:
# Register into DKMS
install -dm 755 "$pkgdir/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/$pkgver"
ln -s '/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxhost' "$pkgdir/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/$pkgver/source"

dkms autoinstall:
Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File: does not exist.

@the9ull:
The package automatically registers itself with DKMS.
A simple "dkms autoinstall" probably would have sufficed.
The package warns for this during post_install:
cat <<EOF
==> Remember to add allowed users to the vboxusers group:
==> # gpasswd -a USERNAME vboxusers
==
==> To compile/load virtualbox modules automatically at startup you can add dkms in your DAEMONS
==
==> To build and install your modules run dkms autoinstall
EOF
(in contrast with my earlier comment, the package has always done this)

Notice:
To avoid crashes when upgrading Guest Additions from version 6.x to 7.x on Windows guests, uninstall the old Guest Additions first, then reboot, and then install the new ones. It's recommended to do all these operations in Safe Mode. See this upstream bug ticket for more details.
