Subject: [GIT PULL] x86 fixes and updates

Linus,

   # HEAD: 31ab12df723543047c3fc19cb8f8c4498ec6267f x86/microcode/AMD: Fix __apply_microcode_amd()'s return value

Merge note, one of the fixes touches core kernel code non-trivially:

  out-of-topic modifications in x86-urgent-2025-03-28:
  ------------------------------------------------------
  include/linux/pgtable.h            # dc84bc2aba85: x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handl
  mm/memory.c                        # dc84bc2aba85: x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handl
  kernel/fork.c                      # dc84bc2aba85: x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handl

Miscellaneous x86 fixes and updates:

 - Fix a large number of x86 Kconfig dependency and help text accuracy
   bugs/problems, by Mateusz Jończyk and David Heideberg.

 - Fix a VM_PAT interaction with fork() crash. This also touches
   core kernel code.

 - Fix an ORC unwinder bug for interrupt entries

 - Fixes and cleanups.

 - Fix an AMD microcode loader bug that can promote verification failures
   into success.

 - Add early-printk support for MMIO based UARTs on an x86 board that
   had no other serial debugging facility and also experienced early
   boot crashes.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
