[PATCH 00/14] firmware_loader: built-in API and make x86 use it

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx>

A while ago I noted to Boris how we could likely do away the odd
direct use of the firmware sections on x86 and instead have it use
the API directly. This indeed was possible but it required quite
a bit of spring cleaning as well and on its way I spotted a small
fix.

This goes with a new series of tests against built-in firmware as well.
Boris has confirmed this also does work for the x86 microcode loader.
0day is happy with the build results. You can find these changes on my
git tree branch 20210916-firmware-builtin-v2 [0].
