---Steps to Reproduce---
1) Using latest daily ISO install 14.04.02 as a Power VM guest. The LPAR has vTPM functionality enabled.
2) Upgrade the kernel to 3.19 level (3.19.0-18-generic)
3) Configure kdump. A fix is required to configure kdump. Refer to defect (https://bugzilla.linux.ibm.com/show_bug.cgi?id=125712)

4) Trigger a crash. Kdump boot fails with a kernel panic
