Hi Shenghui,

I have not found the VBoxHost_RTMpNotificationRegister function name 
anywhere in the kernel tree. I think that means that this warning is 
generated by an out-of-tree driver. Please report this issue to the 
virtualbox maintainers as a kernel v5.1 interoperability bug.

Thanks,

Bart.
