For those of you that really want Trusty fixed, please be aware, that the preferred way to resolve this kind of issue is to upgrade the EFI Firmware on your machine.
Also I just checked the source code for initramfs-tools, Yingying Zhao (yingying-zhao) was wrong in https://bugs.launchpad.net/intel/+bug/1084373/comments/11 as the trusty version definitively does not have the early microcode patch. https://anonscm.debian.org/git/kernel/initramfs-tools.git/commit/?id=d5f4cd6 Additionally the version where that is committed has changed significantly from Trusty such that backporting that doesn't look advisable either. Xnox has made a correct assessment by not wanting to push this into Trusty. Please stop voting for trusty. If you insist on running Trusty please directly upgrade your EFI.
