Yeah, but since that will break symmetry with Intel's GenuineIntel.bin
file path, so I decided to add some more logic to early loading code
to be able to parse through multiple containers files concatanated
together.
Any thoughts on this Boris?
Patch below:

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/microcode/amd: allow multiple family's bin files
appended together
Add support for parsing through multiple family's microcode patch
container binary files appended together when early loading. This is
already supported on Intel.
