From 65cef1311d5d212fd3d48a43678536dc878ca288 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Mon, 19 May 2014 20:59:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86, microcode: Add a disable chicken bit 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.
