[PATCH v3 09/10] x86/mm/init.c: Copy ucode from initrd image to memory

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Sun Dec 16 2012 - 12:46:10 EST


From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

Before initrd image is freed, copy valid ucode patches from initrd image
to kernel virtual memory. The saved ucode will be used to update AP in resume
or hotplug.
