[Bug 1778738] Re: Default to early instead of auto if MODULES=most

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted amd64-microcode into trusty-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amd64-microcode/3.20180524.1~ubuntu0.14.04.2+really20130710.1ubuntu1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Initramfs for MODULES=most should build with all microcodes installed

  [Test case]
  Have both amd64-microcode and intel-microcode installed, and MODULES=most set. Test generated initramfs in both amd64 and intel machines and make sure the microcodes load.

  If that's not feasible, we should at least run update-initramfs with
  -v and ensure that it says the right things:

  I: amd64-microcode: installing AMD64 microcode into the early initramfs...              
  intel-microcode: adding microcode for either all or selected Intel processor models
  [long list of microcodes]

  
  [Regression potential]
  Some tools will fail to understand the initramfs, as it now has two cpio archives prepended (e.g. lsinitramfs skips intel microcode archive, as seen in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886424)
