- Disable late microcode loading by default. Unless the HW people get
their act together and provide a required minimum version in the
microcode header for making a halfways informed decision its just
lottery and broken.
- Warn and taint the kernel when microcode is loaded late
- Remove the old unused microcode loader interface
- Remove a redundant perf callback from the microcode loader

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
