So I ended up upgrading the NVM to the latest version (f4.33.31377 a1.2
n4.42 e191b):

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24769/NVM-Update-Utility-for-
Intel-Ethernet-Converged-Network-Adapter-XL710-X710-Series

The 0.3.36-k now refuses to work at all throwing these messages into
dmesg (no random kernel panic with the latest NVM, just doesn't work at
all):

I then installed linux-generic-lts-vivid and that works without issue:

Title:
  Upgrade i40e and i40evf driver to latest

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It appears that the latest i40e driver in Trusty is 0.3.36-k.  We've
  been experiencing some kernel panics with this driver and have found
  that it looks like bringing the driver up to the latest 1.2.48 has
  alleviated some of the kernel panics on boot.

  Is this something we could look at getting upgraded to a more modern
  revision of the driver?

  Thanks
