Enable 06-2d-07 (SNB-E/EN/EP) caveat by default. Add 06-55-04 (SKL-X/W) caveat, enable it by default. Update stale posttrans dependency, add triggers for proper handling of the debug kernel flavour along with kernel-rt. Avoid find being SIGPIPE'd on early "grep -q" exit in the dracut script. Re-generate initramfs not only for the currently running kernel, but for several recently installed kernels as well. Change the URL to point to the GitHub repository since the microcode download section at Intel Download Center does not exist anymore. Avoid temporary file creation, used for here-documents in checkcaveats.
