Add support for the backported lts-utopic stack

[Alberto Milone]

SRU request:

[Impact]

 * As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the module against linux-generic-lts-utopic in Ubuntu 14.04.2.

[Test Case]

 * Enable the trusty-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.1).

 * Install linux-generic-lts-utopic

 * If the package installs without errors from DKMS with both the linux-generic and linux-generic-lts-utopic kernels, then the patches work correctly.

[Regression Potential]

 * The patches that I backported from 15.04 will preserve the current driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.13) and linux-generic-lts-utopic (3.16), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be expected on these kernels. As a plus, support for kernels up to 3.18 is also included.

In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The version of bcmwl in the proposed pocket of Precise that was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs that were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105 days) fashion.

[Yung Shen (kaxing)]

sorry for the late verification, this one had been ran off the net.

In recent SRU testing cycles, and according to my comment below, the fix for works fine with latest precise kernel:
