Rename apply_microcode() in microcode/intel.c to
apply_microcode_intel(), and declare it as static. This is a cosmetic
fix to silence a warning issued by sparse.

Fix some typos. One of them was in a struct name, fortunately harmless
because it happened on a "sizeof(struct foo*)" construction.

Add a cmdline param which disables the microcode loader. This is useful
mostly in debugging situations where we want to turn off microcode
loading, both early from the initrd and late, as a means to be able to
rule out its influence on the machine.

For additional coverage, BorisO and friends unknowlingly did swap AMD
microcode with Intel microcode blobs in order to see what happens. What
did happen on 32-bit was
[ 5.722656] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at be3a6008
[ 5.722693] IP: [<c106d6b4>] load_microcode_amd+0x24/0x3f0
[ 5.722716] *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
because there was a valid initrd there but without valid microcode in it
and the container check happened *after* the relocated ramdisk handling
on 32-bit, which was clearly wrong.
While at it, take care of the ramdisk relocation on both 32- and 64-bit
as it is done on both. Also, comment what we're doing because this code
is a bit tricky.

Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
removal as needed / unneeded, etc. This is primarily being done for
the cgroups filesystem, but the goal is to also move debugfs to it when
it is ready, solving all of the known issues in that filesystem as well.
The code isn't completed yet, but all should be stable now (there is a
big section that was reverted due to problems found when testing.)
There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be using
soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier.)
All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues.

We've grown a bunch of microcode loader files all prefixed with
"microcode_". They should be under cpu/ because this is strictly
CPU-related functionality so do that and drop the prefix since they're
in their own directory now which gives that prefix. :)
While at it, drop MICROCODE_INTEL_LIB config item and stash the
functionality under CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as it was its only user.
