If you say Y here, you will be able to update the microcode on

- This option selects the general module only, you need to select
- at least one vendor specific module as well.
+ The preferred method to load microcode from a detached initrd is described
+ in Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt. For that you need to enable
+ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD in order for the loader to be able to scan the
+ initrd for microcode blobs.
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
- will be called microcode.
+ In addition, you can build-in the microcode into the kernel. For that you
+ need to enable FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL and add the vendor-supplied microcode
+ to the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE config option.
