Ok, so why did you do this? The 3.19 kernel is supported on 14.04 as an LTS
hardware enablement stack; it is not guaranteed that switching kernels, from
the 3.13 kernel that was included in 14.04 to the 3.19 enablement stack,
will be regression-free on all hardware for all use cases.

This bug does not affect all hardware in all configurations of cryptsetup.
I believe there was another bug report besides this one where the kernel
team was bisecting to track this issue down. I don't have the bug number to
hand.
