[PATCH 2/3] x86/CPU: Add a microcode loader callback

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Fri Feb 16 2018 - 06:26:59 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Add a callback function which the microcode loader calls when microcode
has been updated to a newer revision. Do the callback only when no error
was encountered during loading.
