Title:
  DomU crash on xen <3.2 due to NMI call

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Request from Amazon:

  Our engineering team has reported that the kernel in 14.04 LTS is
  making a call to NMI which in turn causes DomU instances to crash
  under Xen <3.2. This affects only a particular range of kernel
  versions from 3.12.25 to 3.15.6, and the kernel in 14.04 seems to be
  3.14.x. There is already a patch in the mainstream kernel version to
  apply that would address the situation. The probability of a DomU
  crash with the current ubuntu 14.04 kernel on a Dom0 running Xen <3.2
  is always. Our customers sometimes run on instance types that route
  them to >3.2 Xen so this does not impact all customers.
