Bug 715118

Description of problem:
Since kernel-2.6.39.x I cannot boot the kernel because I'm flooded with the message:

microcode: microcode: CPU0: AMD CPU family 0xf not supported

I filed a bug against the kernel and it turned out that udev actually tries indefinitely to load the microcode module. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35522

The offensive code is in /lib/udev/rules.d/89-microcode.rules and after blacklisting the module everything is fine. When I try to manually load it (after booting with it being disabled) I get:

[root@localhost ~]# modprobe -v microcode
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.39-0.fc16.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/microcode.ko 
FATAL: Error inserting microcode
(/lib/modules/2.6.39-0.fc16.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/microcode.ko):
Invalid argument

and after this I got the following into dmesg:

[  170.459160] microcode: CPU0: family 15 not supported

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.0-0.rc3.git5.1.fc16.x64_86
udev-171-2.fc16.x64_86

How reproducible:
Boot the pc

Expected results:
udev gives up if the module doesn't want to load.
