Actually, I'd prefer if we fixed *that* instead by adding:

/* Update boot_cpu_data's revision too, if we're on the BSP: */
if (c->cpu_index == boot_cpu_data.cpu_index)
boot_cpu_data.microcode = <new rev>;

to the end of ->apply_microcode() functions so that boot_cpu_data has
the correct revision too, in case something else queries it.

Thx.
