Needed a few fixups to apply against linux-next.

While we're there, let's spell "matching" correctly.

[patch 2/2] [PATCH 2/2] x86: Fixed NULL function pointer dereference in AMD microcode patch loader.

[Peter Oruba]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-x86-Fixed-NULL-function-pointer-dereference-in-AMD.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 820 bytes --]

Dereference took place in code part responsible for manual installation
of microcode patches through /dev/cpu/microcode.

That's a bit too terse.

The patch is no longer applicable to current sources.

If the bug is sufficiently serious to warrant fixing in 2.6.25.x and in
2.6.26.x then please prepare patches against those kernels, including
sufficient description to enable the -stable maintainers to understand
why they need to merge it.  Cc those patches to stable@kernel.org.

Thanks.

[Peter Oruba]

Andrew,

that patch is only relevant in combination with the AMD microcode patch loader.

Thanks,
Peter
