    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 microcode and IFS updates from Borislav Petkov:
     "The IFS (In-Field Scan) stuff goes through tip because the IFS driver
      uses the same structures and similar functionality as the microcode
      loader and it made sense to route it all through this branch so that
      there are no conflicts.
    
       - Add support for multiple testing sequences to the Intel In-Field
         Scan driver in order to be able to run multiple different test
         patterns. Rework things and remove the BROKEN dependency so that
         the driver can be enabled (Jithu Joseph)
    
       - Remove the subsys interface usage in the microcode loader because
         it is not really needed
    
       - A couple of smaller fixes and cleanups"
