Message-ID: <20150426170314.210e921c@netblarch.fritz.box>

Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode: Allow early loading without initrd
Microcode can be baked into the kernel image via CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
and the early loader supports that, but still depended on
BLK_DEV_INITRD.
This dependency is removed.

This patch depends on the "Parse built-in microcode early" patch by Borislav Petkov (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/1/331).
I only tested this on two Intel machines (an i3 M330 and an i5-4690). There is no change in amd_early.c because it compiles fine - only intel_early.c complained without BLK_DEV_INITRD.
