Sorry, this is a hardware solution used with flash CAPI[1] and enabled on Ubuntu 15.10 kernel (4.2).

Ubuntu 15.10 is the only OS that supports it at the moment, and that is why we need the fix in 15.10.
Ubuntu 14.04.4 might be able to technically run the hardware, but I am not sure we will make it as a supported OS. I understand that the tests were done only in 15.10. 16.04 might be the alternative once 15.10 arrives EOL.
