[PATCH] Documentation, add kernel-parameters.txt entry for dis_ucode_ldr

[Prarit Bhargava]

dis_ucode_ldr was introduced in 65cef13 ("x86, microcode: Add a disable
chicken bit") and will disable microcode loading on x86.  This kernel
parameter is buried in the code and should be added to the Documentation.
