Fixed in this release

• LP: #1321949 Big Endian Support not yet working in 3.14 kernel

NO_HZ_FULL now works properly in the linux-lng-v3.14.x branch.

Known issues

NO_HZ_FULL support remains non-functional with RT and is NOT INCLUDED in the linux-lng-preempt-rt-v3.14.x branch. (See bug #1321948 below:)
This marks a departure from prior releases in that the RT branch no longer contains every patch found in the non-RT branch.
We intend to remedy this as soon as clean support for NO_HZ_FULL operation can be integrated into the RT branch.

• LP: #1321948 NO_HZ_FULL not yet working on 3.14 kernel

• LP: #1321950 ARMV8 support not yet working in 3.14 kernel
