Virtualbox Causes Host Kernel Panic on Kernel 3.16

After upgrading to gentoo-sources 3.16.5 and building a new kernel I get a kernel panic after running a vm for about 5 minutes. This only occurs when running vms from an external hard drive formatted in ntfs and not when running vms from my ext4 main drive so I think it is an ntfs-3g problem. Any advice would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: I have found that this is a bug in fuse in kernel 3.16 so if anyone knows how to patch Gentoo sources 3.16 without unmasking anything it would be appreciated

cd <kernel-source-dir>
patch -p1 <path-to-patch>/<patch-name>.patch

And afterwards make oldconfig && make -j <number of cores> to rebuild the kernel (depending on what the patch changes this may be (very) fast.
Then install the resulting image as usual.
