That's the Linux kernel version listed in the HPCA tutorial.

The most recent longterm release is actually 3.14.34 at this point.

Only the branch (3.14.y) matters for an out-of-tree port as it essentially specifies the internal kernel API. It should always be possible to build our port against any patchlevel (32, 34, ...) within the branch without issue, so enforcing a single patchlevel everywhere is not too high a priority. The upstream changes consist of a relatively small number of security/bug fixes backported by the maintainer greg k-h, mostly concerning drivers rather than core features.

(I notice that mainline is nearing 4.0. Kernel version bumps are fairly arbitrary...)
