Support memoryless nodes in Ubuntu kernel

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!

I verified that the performance is the equivalent of upstream with 3.13.0-32-generic. There is still work to be done upstream but this gets us quite a bit further.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 3.13.0-32.57
