In the meantime, I've simplified the code even more and testing here
with your .config looks good. I'll prepare another patchset next week
and post it here in case you guys feel bored and want to test it too.
Ok, here's a new version, it passes testing here but we've heard that
before :-\

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git/log/?h=tip-microcode

If you guys could give it a quick run again, it'll be much appreciated.

I tested your patches on both boxes on top 4.7-rc1
and they work just fine for me.

The test was done as before:

CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/...." ( to match my CPU )
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y

Kernel booted with initrd *without* grub microcode.

If you wish any other tests please let me know.
