1. mxgrub: Create microcode update images and pass them to GRUB …

   The Linux kernel [documentation][1] and the distributions prepend them
   to the possibly compressed initrd image manually, but then you need a
   script like `lsinitramfs` to view the content, if it’s compressed.
   
   Using separate files uses possibly not well tested GRUB code paths, but
   allows us to easily handle all the files.
   
       $ gunzip --to-stdout -S .igz /boot/grub/initramfs.igz | cpio -i -t
       $ cpio -i --file /boot/amd-ucode.img -t
       $ cpio -i --file /boot/intel-ucode.img -t
