fix(dracut.sh): build in microcode blobs by default #2572

Open bp3tk0v opened 7 months ago

bp3tk0v commented 7 months ago

Simply build them in unconditionally. Considering the ubiquitous impact of CPU hw vulnerabilities and a lot of them being addressed by microcode or requiring microcode to apply the needed mitigations, microcode practically gets included on the majority of setups.

If anyone cares about initrd size, one can still use dracut's

--no-early-microcode

option to prevent that.

Drop the now not needed --early-microcode option too.
