Title:
  [HP Compaq 6715s] Updating kernel renders system unbootable

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification][Vivid][Wily]

  The kernel by default is now using 64 bit addresses from the FADT,
  however, some firmware has legacy 32 bit addresses that are correct
  and 64 bit addresses that are buggy and incorrect.  This results in
  some machines breaking on boot.

  [Fix]
  Add a workaround kernel parameter that forces ACPI to use the 32 bit addresses from the FADT

  [Testcase]
  Without the fix, machine won't boot.  With the fix add "acpi_force_32bit_fadt_addr" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, roll in the kernel and it will boot

  [Regression potential]
  This fix only twiddles the ACPI global variable acpi_gbl_use32_bit_fadt_addresses if the override flag is used on the kernel, so the regression potential is minimal as one has to force the flag to enable the feature.

  ------------------------------------

  
  To reproduce (on this hardware)

  1) Install 14.04.3 LTS (Ubuntu or XUbuntu)
  2) Install updates
  3) Reboot

  The kernel used after update is 3.19.0-42. Booting with the kernel
  that came with the install image (3.19.0-25) works fine.

  This computer is a HP Compaq 6715s. I have looked at HPs support pages
  for BIOS updates for this model but none was available.
