[Tore Anderson <tore@xxxxxx>]

Hi, I'm also affected by this issue. I have a number of virtual machines
running Precise which are now left in limbo - I cannot use the original
Precise kernel (3.2.0) because of some missing features, and I cannot
upgrade to the Trusty kernel (or upgrade the entire distribution to
Trusty for that matter) due to this issue. I can run the Raring or Saucy
kernels, but those are now End of Life, which means I won't get any
security fixes. I have no influence over my VPS provider's choice of
hypervisor software.

It's been three months since this bug saw any activity, has it been
forgotten about?

  Appears to be a known bug that has not been patched in mainline kernel yet:

  Tested recompiling from kernel at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
