Ahh, I see that Ingo put it in <asm/processor.h> in the linux-next
tree. I'm not convinced it's any better than my <asm/microcode.h>
choice, but it does result in not needing another

  #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD
 ..

thing, so...

Feel free to send me a follow-up patch to move that
amd_check_microcode() declaration to whatever the appropriate place
is.
