But a bit of scheduling headache then awaits. How much CPU init do we need to do before we start drawing things in from the cbfs? Is there anything that cannot be done until microcode updates are loaded? Is cpu_dev_ops.init() an appropriate place to access cbfs? If not, from where?
Microcode updates are, from my understanding, typically not extremely important. IMO, including them in coreboot should be a Kconfig option, because it's probably faster to let just linux load them (but other OS's may not have that ability).
