Subject[PATCH 0/6] x86/microcode: Merge the early loader
Date
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Hi all,

so this basically codifies what we're already doing in practice anyway:
the early loader is enabled and the microcode functionality is built-in.
So we can make this official and remove all that additional Kconfig
complexity of keeping the early and the late loader separate and we can
remove the module code glue because it is almost never used as a module.

We still have the unfortunately-named "dis_ucode_ldr" chicken bit to
disable it all, if needed.

More details in the individual commit messages.

Borislav Petkov (6):
x86/microcode: Unmodularize driver
x86/microcode: Merge early loader
x86/microcode: Remove modularization leftovers
x86/microcode/amd: Remove maintainers from comments
x86/microcode/intel: Move ifdef DEBUG inside the function
MAINTAINERS: Unify microcode driver section
