The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

commit cd1c32ca96 is an early premature
rendition of the patch. Augment it with this delta patch to:
* correctly mark offset and size of the matching bin file
* use __pa instead of __pa_nodebug during AP load
* check for !initrd_start before using it

Add support for parsing through multiple families' microcode patch
container binary files appended together when early loading. This is
already supported on Intel.

Change find_ucode_in_initrd() to __init and only let BSP call it
during cold boot. This is the right thing to do because only BSP will
see initrd loaded by the boot loader. APs will offset into
initrd_start to find the microcode patch binary.

Fix section mismatch warnings on microcode_amd_early.
Compile error occurs when CONFIG_MICROCODE=m, change so that early
loading depends on microcode_core.
