virtualbox motherboard cpu id

notes:

• to make setextradata changes effective vm must restarted with a vm shutdown
• getextradata don't report value if override not set with setextradata
• setextradata simply set a registry into your .vbox file, this will not imply it will match with your config ( for example the hdd may use piix3ide instead of ahci controller )
