Hi,

here's a small set which makes sure the microcode data checksum
verification is done using u32s, as the SDM says and not what we did.
The interesting part is that Chris Bainbridge caught this with UBSAN
even though the SDM has been proclaiming using unsigned dwords already.

The rest are some trivial cleanups which sprang out after me staring at
microcode_sanity_check(). FWIW, it could use some more but that's for
later.

Patches ontop of tip/x86/microcode.

Borislav Petkov (4):
x86/microcode/intel: Get rid of DWSIZE
x86/microcode/intel: Merge two consecutive if-statements
x86/microcode/intel: Improve microcode sanity-checking error messages
x86/microcode/intel: Drop orig_sum from ext signature checksum

Chris Bainbridge (1):
x86/microcode/intel: Change checksum variables to u32
