Ok, here's an actual patch. I'm very sorry for the confusion and big thanks guys for catching it on time, before it hits the merge window!
Much appreciated. :-D --- From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 09:52:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode: Disable builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now Andy Shevchenko reported machine freezes when booting latest tip on x32 setups. Problem is, the builtin microcode handling cannot really work that early, when we haven't even enabled paging. A proper fix would involve handling that case specially as every other early 32-bit boot case in the microcode loader and would require much more involved changes for which it is too late now, more than a week before the upcoming merge window. So, disable the builtin microcode loading only on 32-bit for now.
