appport-collect crashed when attempting to view the report so I've not
attached any additional logs as requested by the bot.

I hope this isn't a problem since I have already diagnosed the bug and
provided the correct fix.

Title:
  Kernel BUG in paravirt_lazy_mmu when running as a Xen PV guest

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Xen PV guests may crash during boot in paravirt_enter_lazy_mmu() while
  expanding the grant table (usually when requested by blkfront, when
  booting).  See an example trace below.

  This is caused by calling functions that are unsafe in atomic context.

  The fix (which has been submitted to 3.16) is available here (also
  attached):

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git/commit/?h=stable
  /for-linus-3.16&id=b7dd0e350e0bd4c0fddcc9b8958342700b00b168

  The fix is applicable to all kernel since 2.6.39 but only appears to
  trigger with the 3.13 kernel in 14.04.
