Log:
  Increase the max allowed size of the microcode update blob for x86.
  
  Newer CPUs (SkyLakes) have updates of 100K size, which is bigger than
  current limit 32K. Increase it to 4M but leave the check around to
  prevent kernel memory allocator abuse.  Some time ago, the memory for
  update was allocated by contigmalloc(9), and it was reasonable to be
  conservative as much as possible.  Since all uses of contigmalloc(9)
  appear to be either misunderstanding or too cautious, and were
  removed, provide more slack than strictly neccessary.
