This is wrong - it will read any number of uncompressed initramfs until it finds a compressed one. You can add two initramfs (one for AMD and one for Intel) in any order and it will find the ucode. This works because the concatenation of two uncompressed cpio images looks just like a single cpio image AFAIK.
