Unfortunately for this bug's progress, i've switched to a newer kernel altogether since the 3.13 tree in Ubuntu has had a lot of other problems besides this EXT4 ext_mb_generate_buddy issue. With 3.15.0 i have not experienced any ext4 issues at all. If you want me to, i would be willing to boot that VM in 3.13 with this patch, but as said, it can take ages before the bug was triggered...
