Impact: remove dead/incorrect code

Currently there is no chipset specific ucode. The checks are incorrect
anyway (e.g. pci device IDs are 16 bit and not 8 bit).

Thus I remove the stuff for the time being and will reintroduce it if
it's foreseeable that it is really needed.

(1) mark mc_size in generic_load_microcode() as unitialized_var to avoid
     gcc's (false) warning;

(2) mark request_microcode_user() as unsupported. The required changes
    can be added later. Note, we don't break any user-space interfaces
    here, as there were no kernels with support for AMD-specific ucode
    update yet. The ucode has to be updated via 'firmware'.

Combine both generic and arch-specific parts of microcode into a
single module (arch-specific parts are config-dependent).

Also while we are at it, move arch-specific parts from microcode.h
into their respective arch-specific .c files.

this is a rework of the microcode splitup in tip/x86/microcode

(1) I think this new interface is cleaner (look at the changes
    in 'struct microcode_ops' in microcode.h);

(2) it's -64 lines of code;

microcode_amd.c uses ">> 32" on a 32-bit value, so gcc warns about that.
The code could use something like this *untested* patch.

This is the 1st patch in the series. Here the aim was to avoid any
significant changes, logically-wise.

So it's mainly about generic interface refactoring: e.g. make
microcode_{intel,amd}.c more about arch-specific details and less
about policies like make-sure-we-run-on-a-target-cpu
(no more set_cpus_allowed_ptr() here) and generic synchronization (no
more microcode_mutex here).

All in all, more line have been deleted than added.

fix:

 FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module microcode_amd.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'set_cpus_allowed_ptr'
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch introduces microcode patch loading for AMD
processors. It is based on previous corresponding work
for Intel processors.

It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main
difference is that a container file format is used to hold
all patch data for multiple processors as well as an
equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed
to Intel's microcode patching solution.

Kconfig and Makefile have been changed provice config
and build option for new source file.
