[GIT PULL] AMD microcode fixes

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Mon Jan 31 2011 - 08:29:51 EST


Hey Ingo,

please pull from the branch below to receive a bunch of AMD microcode
driver fixes and cleanups. They are not strictly needed for .38 so
you could easily postpone them for .39 but still have them cook in
linux-next.

Patches survived testing here and were out for review a week ago:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129588278209579

There's one out-of-tree change to <drivers/base/sys.c> which Greg hasn't
explicitly acked yet but judging by his silence he has nothing against
it :).

Thanks.

The following changes since commit 1bae4ce27c9c90344f23c65ea6966c50ffeae2f5:
