* SECURITY UPDATE: Users could cause a NULL pointer exception
  by passing a bogus value of cr3 (LP: #406584).

* Cherry-pick qcow2 corruption patch from upstream git
  - Fix-at-least-one-cause-of-qcow2-corruption.-Nolan.patch
* Cherry-pick dma error handling patch from upstream git, LP: #359447
  - Fix-DMA-API-when-handling-an-immediate-error-from-bl.patch
* debian/control: depend on linux-server and linux-generic headers;
  this may be a bit overkill, as you only need one of the two,
  however, we don't know which one of the two until postinst;
  because of this, we get *tons* of bug reports about kvm-source not
  being able to build because of missing headers (even though we print
  a helpful warning message in postinst), LP: #394953
* debian/kvm-source.postinst: touch reboot-required to ensure that
  the new kvm module gets loaded and running

* debian/patches/add-all-virtio-drives.patch: Fix bugs where the caller
  does not specify a perfectly defined list of virtio drives starting at
  index=0 and having no gaps in indices; LP: #360832, #360825
* debian/patches/fix-qcow-corruption: Cherry-pick from kvm stable git
  branch, fixes at least one cause of qcow2 image corruption; no reports
  yet of this in Ubuntu, but I'm being proactive about this one;
  LP: #361938
* debian/source_kvm.py: dpkg -l was a little too heavy, compress this
  output considerably

  usplash interaction, LP: #275009
* debian/rules, debian/control: Enable pulseaudio audio driver, LP: #304649
