Note that the Ubuntu 15.04 kernel contains patches to provide
backwards compatibility:
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-vivid.git/commit/fs/overlayfs?id=2b561327c40709b6f2145fe3c4c3159289653e7b

I do, however, agree that overlayroot should also support kernels w/o
these patches (e.g. upstream). I'd personally recommend filing that as
a separate bug though, as this one has been fixed and has reached a
terminal state.

Title:
  kernel panic during MAAS fastpath install of Vivid images

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  overlayfs support doesn't work with kernels > 3.18 which will, for example, break MAAS commissioning/deploying using trusty+hwe-v (when it exists).

  [Test Case]
  Create custom trusty image using the vivid kernel and attempt to commission a node with MAAS using that image.

  [Regression Potential]
  If the kernel detection code is buggy, it could regress functionality on older kernels (e.g. 3.13/3.16).
