-tip testing found the following bug - there's a _long_ boot delay of
58.6 seconds if the CPU family is not supported:

[ 1.421761] calling microcode_init+0x0/0x137 @ 1
[ 1.426532] platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 61.433126] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 61.439682] microcode: CPU0: AMD CPU family 0xf not supported
[ 61.445441] microcode: CPU1: AMD CPU family 0xf not supported
[ 61.451273] Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <tigran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Peter Oruba
[ 61.459116] initcall microcode_init+0x0/0x137 returned 0 after 58625622 usecs

Where does this delay come from?
