The referenced bug is about pulling in some up-to-date drivers.

Kernel module authors who need to work with many different kernel versions deal with renames like this by using the KERNEL_VERSION macros to determine which wrappers/stubs/whatever to include in a particular build. However, because of this above change, which wasn't included in upstream kernels until 3.14 (while Trusty is 3.13(+extra magic)) this won't work.

I propose you add a compatibility macro. Luckily, it's a straight rename, so this should be simple enough.

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. Thank you!
