Thank you very much for this guide, fritsch, wsnipex, and all the developers / contributors whose name I don't know 
I've followed this excellent guide and successfully installed Kodi nightly (via PPA) on a Z97 system running HSW Refresh CPU (Pentium Anniversary).
Initial testing shows that everything works well. 24p playback is working great. I don't have much interlaced contents to test.
Haven't encountered the GPU HANG issue yet. (p.s. The Dropbox links to the custom 3.18 kernel are returning 404)
The Upstart script works like a charm - booting straight to Kodi.
One small issue I encountered once was that Kodi was unable to switch refresh rate at the start of video playback - stuck at 1080p 50Hz. This happened after waking display from sleep (Kodi's built in sleep function). Restarting X didn't help. Rebooting the PC fixed the issue. I haven't had a chance to try to reproduce it.
Thanks again guys and have a Happy 2015!
