maintainerPATCH 1/2 x86/microcode: Look for the initrd at the correct address on 32-bit
From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>
Early during boot, the BSP finds the ramdisk's position from boot_params but by the time the APs get to boot, the BSP has continued in the mean time and has potentially managed to relocate that ramdisk.
And in that case, the APs need to find the ramdisk at its new position, in *physical* memory as they're running before paging has been enabled.
Thus, get the updated physical location of the ramdisk which is in the relocated_ramdisk variable.

maintainerPATCH 2/2 x86/microcode/intel: Save pointer to ucode patch for early AP loading
From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>
Normally, when the initrd is gone, we can't search it for microcode blobs to apply anymore. For that we need to stash away the patch in our own storage.
And save_microcode_in_initrd_intel() looks like the proper place to do that from. So in order for early loading to work, invalidate the intel_ucode_patch pointer to the patch *before* scanning the initrd one last time.
If the scanning code finds a microcode patch, it will assign that pointer again, this time with our own storage's address.
This way, early microcode application during resume-from-RAM works too, even after the initrd is long gone.
