I don't see that the patch landed in mainline as of yet: 
x86/xen: safely map and unmap grant frames when in atomic context

As soon as it does, I can build a trusty test kernel with a cherry pick
of that commit and we can confirm it fixes this bug.

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

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.
