This is in reference to the patches to microcode_amd and it's all 'done' 
in 4.5 itself.
I think when we were tracking this, commit 8b24b07e was not in master 
branch.
Hence the status.

We can remove this from the current list of features to be tracked for 
4.6 IMO.

This is in reference to commit e74de9c0.

And this is also complete, and can be removed from the list.
Before I knew what status values to apply to a feature, I had used 'in 
master' to convey
that patches are in master branch. The feature tracking list has 
maintained this remnant.

In fact, all these patches in the list are 'done' as of 4.5 itself and 
can be removed IMO.

*Data breakpoint Extension support (new-feat) (in master)

*Support BRCM TruManage chip (Serial over LAN support) (new-feat) (in 
master)

*fix vmce_amd* functions, unify mce_amd mcheck initialization 
(fixes/cleanups)

*multiple AMD container files appended together in initrd (early initramfs)
