Backport latest stable virtualization packages to LTS

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Hey guys,

While I completely agree that any issue related to libvirt, deserves
attention, I also need to say that I never had any problems with Ubuntu
Cloud Archive for non-OpenStack deployments.

All my regular KVM Hypervisors, Trusty and Precise, have the latest Cloud
Archive enabled.

Ubuntu is a rock solid and Cloud Archive is basically, just a supported
backport repository... What possibly could go wrong?

Also, OpenStack Compute Node is basically, a KVM Hypervisor.

Cheers!
Thiago
