The libvirtd daemon impl will need to switch over to using the
new event APIs. To make this simpler, ensure all drivers currently
providing events support both the new APIs and old APIs.

README 

    Explanation about the how multi-version support
    for VirtualBox libvirt driver is implemented.

Since VirtualBox adds multiple new features for each release, it is but
natural that the C API which VirtualBox exposes is volatile across
versions and thus needs a good mechanism to handle multiple versions
during runtime. The solution was something like this:

Firstly the file structure is as below:

vbox_CAPI_v2_2.h
vbox_XPCOMCGlue.h
vbox_XPCOMCGlue.c
These files are C API/glue code files directly taken from the
VirtualBox OSE source and is needed for C API to work as expected.

vbox_driver.h
vbox_driver.c
These files have the main logic for registering the virtualbox driver
with libvirt.

vbox_V2_2.c
The file which has version dependent changes and includes the template
file for given below for all of its functionality.

vbox_tmpl.c
The file where all the real driver implementation code exists.

Now there would be a vbox_V*.c file (for eg: vbox_V2_2.c for V2.2) for
each major virtualbox version which would do some preprocessor magic
and include the template file (vbox_tmpl.c) in it for the functionality
it offers.
