Sorry, let me clarify. find_ucode_in_initrd() is called by
load_ucode_amd_ap() during cold boot. However, since
load_ucode_amd_ap() is also called during suspend/resume (CPU hotplug)
it has to be __cpuinit. Of course during suspend/resume code path,
find_ucode_in_initrd() is not called, since it is no longer there in memory.
