Shaohua Li a30a6a2cb0 [PATCH] x86 microcode: using request_firmware to pull microcode
Using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need the
application 'microcode_ctl' to assist.  We name each ucode file according
to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping.  In this way we could
split ucode file as small one.  This has a lot of advantages such as
selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better
manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on.
with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file).  The init script
should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading
