  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. The 3.19.7 upstream stable
         patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
         kernel as well.

  Linux 3.19.7

  The following patch from 3.19.7 was already applied in the Vivid
  kernel:

  powerpc/perf: Cap 64bit userspace backtraces to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH

  The following patch from 3.19.7 was dropped as it introduces a
  regression (see comment #1 and #2):

  md/raid0: fix bug with chunksize not a power of 2.
