Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch.
  Lucid was released with the DRM subsystem updated to the 2.6.33 level because 2.6.32 was too unstable there. Until 2.6.33 went out of upstream support, we picked the patches for DRM from this tree. After that we now keep an upstream tree that continues that effort and selectively picks changes from more recent stable kernels or upstream patches that been passing SRU criteria and review.

  TEST CASE: TBD
