Subject: [patch 02/30] x86/microcode: Hide the config knob

In reality CONFIG_MICROCODE is enabled in any reasonable configuration when
Intel or AMD support is enabled. Accomodate to reality.

- If you say Y here, you will be able to update the microcode on

- The preferred method to load microcode from a detached initrd is described
- in Documentation/arch/x86/microcode.rst. For that you need to enable
- CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD in order for the loader to be able to scan the
- initrd for microcode blobs.
-
- In addition, you can build the microcode into the kernel. For that you
- need to add the vendor-supplied microcode to the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
- config option.

Seems like there is a dracut dependency that checks for either of these to
be present.

dracut: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.5.0-rc3-ucode-minrev+
dracut: Disabling early microcode, because kernel does not support it. CONFIG_MICROCODE_[AMD|INTEL]!=y

Just a tool fix.

+ dracut ML (I hope this is the right one).

Dracut folks, you can drop this check soon - microcode loader will be
unconditionally built in.
