Title:
  Please backport memtest86+ 5.01-3ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 15.10 Wily to
  14.04 LTS (memtest86 is 4 years old (v4.2.0) in LTS)!

Status in trusty-backports:
  New
Status in memtest86+ package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in memtest86+ package in Debian:
  Unknown
Status in memtest86+ package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  At September 2013, after more than 2 years since 4.20, 5.01 is finally
  out and the development of Memtest86+ is now fully resumed.

  Please backport memtest86+ 5.01-3ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 15.10 Wily to
  14.04 LTS - memtest86+ is 4 years old in 14.04 LTS and doesn't support
  lots of current hardware :(

  Bellow is debian/changelog entry:

  memtest86+ (5.01-3ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium
    * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
      - Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge.
      - Drop the multiboot image from the GRUB menu for now, since it's
        experimental and has known problems detecting all memory on some
        systems at the moment.
      - Do not update grub configuration, if running in container, or
        update-grub not present, or grub config has not been previously
        generated.
      - Support localization of GRUB menu entries.
      - Don't present the GRUB menu option on EFI systems, since it won't work.

  memtest86+ (5.01-3) unstable; urgency=medium
    * Build with -fgnu89-inline for GCC 5 (Matthias Klose, Closes: #778001)
   -- Yann Dirson <dirson at debian.org>  Thu, 25 Jun 2015 19:14:21 +0200

  memtest86+ (5.01-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    * Build -O0 to workaround what is apparently a gcc 4.9 optimisation bug,
      and use "static" the __in and __out macros to allow compilation to
      proceed under this condition (as done in other distros, including
      Mageia, closes: #753627): memtest86+-5.01-O0.patch.
    * Fix PCI bus scanning on Nehalem architectures (patch from the Mageia
      package): memtest86+-5.01-array-size.patch.
    * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.5, no change.
   -- Yann Dirson <dirson at debian.org>  Wed, 10 Sep 2014 21:58:11 +0200

  memtest86+ (5.01-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt).
    * New upstream release (Closes: #727638).
      * Drop makeiso.sh fix for genisoimage, integrated upstream.
      * Refresh multiboot patch, but do not include additional fix for
        #568176 yet (needs more work).
      * Call build target explicitely, since the default target now attempts
        an scp.
    * Include chineses translations for package descriptions (Anthony Wong
      <ypwong at gmail.com>, Closes: #741432)
    * Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge (Luke Faraone /
      Ubuntu, Closes: #587340)
    * Remove leading ./ in lintian-override paths so they get recognized again.
