microcode_sanity_check() (patch6)

Initial implementation of IFS driver assumed a single IFS test image
file with a fixed name.
Subsequently, it became evident that supporting more than one
test image file is needed to provide more comprehensive
test coverage. (Test coverage in this scenario refers to testing
more transistors in the core to identify faults).
This series makes the driver aware of multiple scan test image files,
modifies IFS test image file headers to make it fully compatible
with microcode headers and adds a few other bug fixes and changes.
Patch organization:
Patches 1, and 2: bug fixes
Patch 3: Removes image loading during init path
Patch 4: Move memory allocation from load to init path
Patch 5, 6, 7, 8: exports a couple of microcode/intel.c functions
for use by driver
Rest of them are IFS driver changes
Patch 9,10 and 12: microcode/IFS metadata section related
Patches 11: IFS header format changes to make it fully compatible
to intel microcode header format
Patches 13, 14 and 15: native support for multiple scan test image files
Patch 16: reverts the broken flag
