H A Dmicrocode.hdiff 760d765b2bb662be177d4b5b271ced8debc803ac Wed Mar 18 13:28:56 CDT 2015 Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> x86/microcode: Parse built-in microcode early

Apparently, people do build microcode into the kernel image, i.e.
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y.

Make that work in the early loader which is where microcode should be
preferably loaded anyway.

Note that you need to specify the microcode filename with the path
relative to the toplevel firmware directory (the same like the late
loading method) in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=y so that early loader can
find it.

I.e., something like this (Intel variant):

CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-3a-09"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/"

While at it, add me to the loader copyright boilerplate.
