Subject: [PATCH 0/9] x86/microcode: Fixes for builtin vs initrd loading; cleanups

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

Hi,

the first two are fixes resulting from people enabling builtin microcode
and reporting issues. The result is a much more robust loading of early
microcode by checking for builtin microcode first and then the one
supplied by the initrd.

The rest are cleanups.

Pile has been tested on everything here and by the bug reporters.

@tip guys: 2/9 is CC:stable. Please route accordingly.

Please apply,
thanks.
