@mrobinson-o  The trusty image with the Utopic image is waiting on a new
build and test cycle of the utopic kernel before those images can be
built.  It is in process.  We were able to simply rebuild the images for
3.13 and 3.19 as the sfc driver was already available in those kernels.

Bug description:
  == [Trusty][Vivid]SRU Justification ==

  It is being requested that we add the sfc driver to the nic-modules
  udeb to facilitate PXE booting nodes with Solarflare network adapters.

  == Fix ==
  Add the sfc driver to our nic-modules udeb.  This is being requested for
  Trusty and Vivid.  Note, this has already been applied to Wily master-next.

  == Testing ==
  I've done test builds of Wily, Vivid, and Trusty and can confirm the sfc driver is seeded into the nic-modules udeb:

  $ dpkg -c nic-modules-4.2.0-3-generic-di_4.2.0-3.3_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
  -rw-r--r-- root/root    495305 2015-08-04 22:17 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-3-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko

  $ dpkg -c nic-modules-3.19.0-26-generic-di_3.19.0-26.27_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
  -rw-r--r-- root/root    464452 2015-08-04 22:21 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko

  $ dpkg -c nic-modules-3.13.0-62-generic-di_3.13.0-62.101_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
  -rw-r--r-- root/root    436284 2015-08-04 22:22 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko
