As part of the effort to support Atom processors it became apparent the
they can only support microcode updates before RAM is available. In this
early environment the device tree is not available.

This series solves this problem by updating ifdtool to provide very early
microcode access on these platforms.

Changes in v3:
- Drop patches that have already been applied
- Fix pylint problems
- Add date string to microcode
- Automatically create microcode directory if needed
- Move microcode program into a function

Changes in v2:
- Drop patches that have already been applied
- Add function comments
- Fix problem with specifying the full microcode filename
- Allow 'list' command to display a list of matching microcode chunks
- Print a message when generating microcode
- Expand the help a little
- Print an error when an ambiguous microcode model is given
