Archdevs,
You move of both linux and linux-lts to the same kernel is bewildering. That eliminates all fallback capability lts provides. Currently, virtualbox Arch guests are broken on 5.10 (as with most other distros).

With linux on 5.10 and lts on 5.4 it was workable to have lts guests. Now you have linux and linux-lts as the same kernel. How does that make sense?
I just would recommend to always add the kernel packages to pacman's IgnorePkg list, and upgrade them only in a strictly controlled way. You can't trust a volunteer project like Arch to take all issues into consideration.
