I know where to get the packages, but thank you anyway. :)

My question was rather how to build an image with those packages or where
it would be possible to get one. So that people would be able to install
Ubuntu from such images containing a (hopefully) safe kernel, i.e. to boot
it right away instead of just installing it before the second boot.

I discovered (http://voices.canonical.com/kernelteam/) that the Ubuntu
Kernel Team are planning, I assume, to use the 3.10 kernel in the nearest
future once some issues are resolved:

> Our Saucy unstable branch has been rebased to the latest v3.10-rc5
> upstream kernel. We are still holding off on a v3.10 based upload due
> to missing AUFS support as well as some DKMS package failures we would
> like to resolve. We have however gone ahead and rebased our Saucy master
> branch to the recent v3.9.5 upstream stable and plan to upload that
> today.

That is great news. However, this still means that any owner of affected
machines who is not running Saucy with 3.10-rc6 or newer might still be
affected by the issue. (Unless SAMSUNG have resolved it already, which may
or may not be the case, but I have no hope that we will ever get to know
this.) Hence I think it may be worth the effort to either consider
backporting the patch or create alternative cd/usb images with those 3.10
kernels of all currently supported Ubuntu releases.

What do you think? Would it be possible to implement any of above?
