For those who want to use VirtualBox 5.1 and package installed Vagrant 1.8.4 without building Vagrant from source or degrading VirtualBox to 5.0.x in Windows, changing files in vagrant installation directory same as in PR https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/7574 can be a workaround.

Edit driver\meta.rb file

notepad C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-1.8.4\plugins\providers\virtualbox\driver\meta.rb

add add "5.1" => Version_5_1, under the line about 5_0

Edit plugin.rb file

notepad C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-1.8.4\plugins\providers\virtualbox\plugin.rb

add autoload :Version_5_1, File.expand_path("../driver/version_5_1", __FILE__) under the line about 5_0

Create driver\version_5_1.rb file

notepad C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\gems\vagrant-1.8.4\plugins\providers\virtualbox\driver\version_5_1.rb

The file content can be found here (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellh/vagrant/b57b0e0d48fe8b4196ca6b7e01bb6c1ecb4b69f9/plugins/providers/virtualbox/driver/version_5_1.rb)

I tested it in Windows 10, with VirtualBox 5.1 and Vagrant 1.8.4 and worked.

For Mac users, file change/create following files:

/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.8.4/plugins/providers/virtualbox/driver/meta.rb
/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.8.4/plugins/providers/virtualboxdriver/version_5_1.rb
/opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.8.4/plugins/providers/virtualboxplugin.rb

@nappa85 tried above and worked.

Tested with Fedora 24 (works) by changing the following files according to above instructions:
/usr/share/vagrant/plugins/providers/virtualbox/driver/meta.rb
/usr/share/vagrant/plugins/providers/virtualbox/plugin.rb
/usr/share/vagrant/plugins/providers/virtualbox/driver/version_5_1.rb
