Subject: [PATCH 0/5] x86/microcode: Clean up the init path

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

The microcode loader init path had a lot of old and unnecessary gunk.
Rip it out.

No functional changes.

Borislav Petkov (5):
  x86/microcode: Rip out the subsys interface gunk
  x86/microcode: Simplify init path even more
  x86/microcode: Kill refresh_fw
  x86/microcode: Do some minor fixups
  x86/microcode: Drop struct ucode_cpu_info.valid
