What happened?

When attempting to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on a Kali Linux ARM64 guest, the installer fails immediately with the error: "Detected unsupported arm64 machine type."

I expected the Guest Additions to install successfully to enable features like auto-resizing the guest display.

How can we reproduce this?

1. Install Kali Linux ARM64 on an Apple Silicon (M5) Mac using VirtualBox 7.2.22.
2. Mount the Guest Additions CD.
3. Open a terminal in the mounted directory.
4. Run the command: sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
