Bug Description

=== Begin SRU Template ===
[Impact]
Newer versions of MAAS require/use some features in newer versions of curtin.
This bug tracks and describes new features of curtin that are being brought back to 14.04.

The following is a list of the new features that are being SRU'd.
* hardware enablement: ppc64 support
  MAAS install with fast path installer is expected to work both to PowerNV and KVM guests.
 * hardware enablement: know kernel mapping for utopic (hwe-u = 3.16).
   When the Utopic level hardware enablement kernel is made available for 14.04, curtin should be able to utilize that kernel when it is booted in an environment with a 3.16 kernel.
 * feature: support installing disk images including windows.
   MAAS's windows install should function.
 * feature: support creating swap file
   installations by default should have a swap file created (/swap.img).
 * feature: support reporting logs back to MAAS
   curtin install logs are available on maas in 1.7 and later for user inspection.
 * feature: enable logging of installation to /var/log/curtin/install.log (LP: #1378910)
   curtin install will always write /var/log/curtin/install.log with log/debug information.

[Other Info]
MAAS's dependency on newer curtin for hardware enablement and features was raised to the technical board at [1]. There was no official response there, so at the current time we're pursuing this under a standard SRU.
