Please enable CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL_EARLY



Dear kernel maintainers,

Since I updated to kernel "3.11-0.bpo.2-686-pae", I'm missing the eraly-firmware update stuff, which I'm needing because the BIOS of my old ACER H340 will never get an update for the Intel processors it is using and early-fw is the only way to get it applied.
Therefore I kindly ask, if it would be possible to re-enable these setting, as they were present in 3.10.? In "http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/09/msg00126.html" users are urged to use the new fw because of security issues.

Best regards,
Muelly
