I believe that the patch requested has been applied to the kernel, and the additional daemon added to linux-cloud-tools, and the initscripts added.

This feature allows an administrator to copy a file from host to guest without using the network. The feature does not restrict the contents or the location of data that is being copied in to the VM. The feature has both a driver and a daemon and the daemon acts as root while copying out the data. The full fix is about to come and is under discussion. The last update can be seen in the following thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/14/470 Further information regarding use is available here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn464282.aspx Please let me know if you need further information.
