applied to tip/x86/microcode - thanks David.

Note that i did some manual merging because microcode support changed a 
few details meanwhile, due to the addition of the AMD microcode driver. 
Find the commit below.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix date output in x86 microcode driver.

The microcode stores its date in a uint32_t in some weird order
approximating pdp-endian. Rather than printing it like that, print it
properly in ISO standard form.
