[PATCH 02/17] x86/microcode/intel: Make early loader look for builtin microcode too

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Feb 03 2016 - 06:47:44 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Set the initrd @start depending on the presence of an initrd. Otherwise,
builtin microcode loading doesn't work as the start is wrong and we're
using it to compute offset to the microcode blobs.
