Description Jaak Ristioja 2015-10-10 22:22:16 UTC 
sys-apps/microcode-data[initramfs] should install the microcode.cpio to /boot/ (using mount-boot logic) instead of /lib/firmware/ so that GRUB etc could more easily pick it up.

Its not for GRUB to use. Its for the user to concat with an existing initramfs and combine together. I don't agree here.

What do you mean by concat? I have my custom initramfs included in the kernel image using CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE= etc. How do you suppose I concat microcode.cpio to it during kernel build time?
