x86/microcode: Disable builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now
Andy Shevchenko reported machine freezes when booting latest tip on 32-bit setups. Problem is, the builtin microcode handling cannot really work that early, when we haven't even enabled paging. A proper fix would involve handling that case specially as every other early 32-bit boot case in the microcode loader and would require much more involved changes for which it is too late now, more than a week before the upcoming merge window. So, disable the builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now.
