Future AMD cpus will have microcode patches that exceed the current

Hi,

so with my current distro (openSUSE TW):
$ zgrep NODES_SHIFT /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=10

This:

static u8 amd_ucode_patch[MAX_NUMNODES][PATCH_MAX_SIZE];

is now 32M instead of 12M. That is a complete waste on my _one_ node system. Can we make amd_ucode_patch dynamic first, depending on num_online_nodes()?
