So I got a report that this change has regressed console memtest86+. I have verified that precise package in my ppa does indeed cause the regression on the serial console menuentry. I'm installing trusty on my testbed that has a serial port now, to verify there.
Also as an aside, I tested running the memtest86+_multiboot.bin, and it was only able to test the see 640k of ram.
