Merge branch 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 microcode updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change in this cycle was the separation of the microcode
  loading mechanism from the initrd code plus the support of built-in
  microcode images.

  There were also lots cleanups and general restructuring (by Borislav
  Petkov)"
