This means now though, distros will have to build in microcode support (not a module anymore) in order to get early ucode loading support. I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing - actually, I even think we want to make the microcode glue in the kernel not be a module anymore because it doesn't hurt and modern CPUs will definitely rather need microcode than not, so we'd need that functionality unconditionally...
