Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]
  When using POWER8 in HV mode one cannot access 
  /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/interface/catalog

  [Test Case]
  cp /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/interface/catalog /tmp
  ls -l /tmp/catalog
  # this should show a file with a size > 0

  [Fix]

  We recently discovered a bug in the upstream Linux kernel. It was
  fixed by this patch

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/1/35

  and that patch is scheduled to be included in powerpc tree.

  When it is included, we should back port to Ubuntu 14.10 or next
  release.
