This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This is significant because the only LTS cloud images Ubuntu provides for ARM64/UEFI include this kernel. [Test Case] Attempt to boot a 14.04 arm64-efi cloud image in QEMU as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM64/QEMU GRUB will fail, reporting that there is no EFI stub in the kernel. [Regression Risk] The proposed backport has been reworked to not require any changes that impact x86, other than new macros/functions that will not be used on x86. The biggest regression risk is therefore to other arm64 platforms that are currently supported by the 3.13 kernel. Luckily this list is small and can be tested.
