Subject: Re: [ RFC, PATCH - 1/2, v2 ] x86-microcode: refactor microcode
 output messages


-tip testing found the following bug - there's a _long_ boot delay of 
58.6 seconds if the CPU family is not supported:

[    1.421761] calling  microcode_init+0x0/0x137 @ 1                                        
[    1.426532] platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin         
[   61.433126] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin                   
[   61.439682] microcode: CPU0: AMD CPU family 0xf not supported                            
[   61.445441] microcode: CPU1: AMD CPU family 0xf not supported                            
[   61.451273] Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <tigran@...azian.fsnet.co.uk>, Peter Oruba    
[   61.459116] initcall microcode_init+0x0/0x137 returned 0 after 58625622 usecs            

Where does this delay come from?
