For Utopic, all that needs to be done is sync the latest package with
Debian.  For Trusty we need to pull in the upstream patch then test it
out.

** Description changed:

  ledmon will not work in Ubuntu 14.04, due to a change in kernel 3.13.
  
  I've tested this with ICH10R and C600/X79 chipset.
  
  Symptoms: ledctl gives 'enclosure management not supported' on supported
  hardware.
  
  This problem has just been fixed by upstream, see this patch:
  
  
http://sourceforge.net/p/ledmon/code/ci/6f7d38bbe5d7b13c84987cf3b3b550a11c39392e/
  
  Please update the Ubuntu package to include this patch, so ledmon works
  again.
  
  Installed package: ledmon 0.79-0.2
  ~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:      14.04
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * The type of libahci parameter ahci_em_messages was changed from int to
+ bool in kernel v3.13, which caused AHCI HBAs to not be detected
+ properly.
+ 
+  * This basically means that ledmon no longer works in 14.04
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * install ledmon
+ 
+  * ledctl should no longer give 'enclosure management not supported' on
+ supported hardware with the fix in place.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Low, as this bug only affects 14.04 and higher due to the newer
+ kernel version.  Systems running the older kernel releases should be
+ fine.
