No, actually Linus' fix is all you need for that:

commit 8e8da023f5af71662867729db5547dc54786093c
Author: Linus Torvalds <email address hidden>
Date: Sun Dec 4 11:57:09 2011 -0800

   x86: Fix boot failures on older AMD CPU's

   People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit
   bcb80e53877c ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to
   /proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into
   "early_init_amd()".
