[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH v4 5/6] x86: add intel microcode entries to grub config

[Tomasz Maciej Nowak]

Create initrd enries for x86 images, that'll load intel microcode as
early as possible. To achieve that the test module for grub is enabled
which provides shell-like conditionals. Also restrict the late load of
microcode to AMD processors.
