Successfully tested with grub (1:2.02.beta2-4). You need something like this in grub.cfg:
echo 'Loading Intel ucode update and initial ramdisk ...' initrd /intel-ucode.img /initramfs-linux.img
I edited grub.cfg manually, though. Will the grub package be updated to handle this in /etc/grub.d/10_linux?
No idea how this should be handled in grub, since I don't use it.
I'm replying here as (obviously) I don't have posting rights at arch-dev :) From what I've been able to understand [1-3], for grub (legacy and grub2) it should work by using multiple initrd lines or like this: initrd /path/to/ucode/update /path/to/arch/initrd I haven't tested it though, so it might be broken and I have no idea of how to integrate it with the automagical grub.cfg configuration (grub-mkconfig).
