The ancient kernel is not needed if you’re running just KVM. They are working 
on a 3.10 kernel if I’m correct though.
As it’s Debian 7 in the bottom now, just put in a back ported kernel and you’re 
good to go. 3.14 was bad but 3.15 should be ok.
And it has Ceph support now a days :)

Cheers,
Josef
