Yeah, about the microcode, shouldn't it be under kernel/cpu/? My train
of thought is: because it is cpu-related functionality, it logically
belongs there.

Or do we rather apply the shallow tree logic of

arch/x86/microcode
arch/x86/events
...

?

I have to say, arch/x86/kernel/cpu/ is kinda long and hard to remember
so the shallow structure should be nicer on the eyes and the brain :)
