Ok, good. Please fix commit 35dc0ff46f77 if you want me to pull it, you should be in 
the signoff chain as a submaintainer who pushes bits, i.e. your entry should be:

  Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

not:

  Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

Also, while touching up details, please remove the colon after the sentence:

  35dc0ff46f77: microcode, AMD: Prefer vzalloc() over calls to vmalloc()+memset().

All arch/x86 commit titles are open-ended sentences that start with a verb.

Also, please use a 'x86, microcode, AMD: ' prefix.

Thanks,

	Ingo
