Thanks for the link. That patch applied on 3.9-rc3 did allow me to boot with my
default kernel config.

Not related to this patch, and not sure it really matters, but FYI: I just
noticed the following warning when building the patched kernel:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2a1a7): Section mismatch in reference from the function apply_microcode_early() to the function .cpuinit.text:print_ucode()
The function apply_microcode_early() references
the function __cpuinit print_ucode().
This is often because apply_microcode_early lacks a __cpuinit 
annotation or the annotation of print_ucode is wrong.

Thanks,
Shaun
