And of course, the law of asking questions on the internet is verified, and
I find the answer minutes after asking a thousand people. A Linux initramfs
is a concatenation of cpio archives, so I can just `cat microcode.img
initrd.gz >initrd`, embed that in my unified image, and everything should
just work.

Please let me know if I'm wrong, and otherwise - thanks for being my rubber
ducks!
