It's because the load_ucode_amd_ap() (which is __cpuinit because it

Hm.. but yes, I do agree with you, I'm waiting for feedback on this
follow up patch to allow multiple concatanated microcode files:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/31/664

I'll submit multi-patch patchset to address your feedback as well.

Thank you,
