Reviewed the submitted links from bug #207630 and added a note explaining VirtualBox's USB 2.0/3.0 pass through is not supported from a FreeBSD host to guest OS, as the extensions package is unavailable for FreeBSD Hosts.

Removed the possessive from Virtualbox and clarified USB 2/3 pass through is broken, but USB 1.0 pass through functions.

916 ↗ | (On Diff #21599) | The "currently" introduces a pause, and is implied anyway. Flip this around to make it not need the pause: The <application>&virtualbox;</application> extension pack is not available for &os; hosts. |
917 ↗ | (On Diff #21599) | Without the extension pack, the &os; host cannot pass-through USB ports to guest operating systems. |
919 ↗ | (On Diff #21599) | My testing today could not get any USB pass-through to work. This is on -current (12.0). |

919 ↗ | (On Diff #21599) | Talked to kmoore - he believes all USB pass-through (without the extension pack) had been disabled after a recent update. |

In response to suggestions from dru and kmoore, the whole section on USB passthrough is recommended to be removed, as this feature appears to be locked behind a proprietary extension pack owned by VirtualBox.
