Following this email I am sending the CVE-2016-4565 fix backports for
Precise and Trusty.

Both of these backports drop the changes to the HFI driver, which was
merged into the 4.3 kernel only.  The Precise backport also adds a new
header file (include/rdma/ib.h) that will contain a single inline
function.
