This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-trusty' to 'verification-failed- trusty'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

We should clean up the different kernels to bring them closer in line with upstream. == Fix == Add missing upstream patches. == Regression Potential == Medium. The patches have been in upstream for quite a while now and are baked in but some of the backporting is not completely trivial and without risk. == Test Case == TBD.
