Thomas Voegtle reported that doing oldconfig with a .config which has CONFIG_MICROCODE enabled but BLK_DEV_INITRD disabled prevents the microcode loading mechanism from being built. So untangle it from the BLK_DEV_INITRD dependency so that oldconfig doesn't turn it off and add an explanatory text to its Kconfig help what the supported methods for supplying microcode are.
