Subject: [GIT PULL] AMD microcode fixes

Hey Ingo,

please pull from the branch below to receive a bunch of AMD microcode
driver fixes and cleanups. They are not strictly needed for .38 so
you could easily postpone them for .39 but still have them cook in
linux-next.

Patches survived testing here and were out for review a week ago:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129588278209579

There's one out-of-tree change to <drivers/base/sys.c> which Greg hasn't
explicitly acked yet but judging by his silence he has nothing against
it :).

Thanks.
