So for AMD I think things are pretty clear, cat
linux-firmware.git/amd-ucode/*.bin into
kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin inside microcode.cpio

For Intel I'm less sure, I've got microcode-20150121.tgz containing
microcode.dat. Is that just to be placed at
kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin and done, or is there some
processing needed?

I've got a thing called iucode-tool in my hand from a Debian package if
I need it.

Ian.
