Well, it works fine on a single-socket box here:

[    1.045426] microcode: updated early to new patch_level=0x010000dc
[    1.060957] microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x010000dc
[    1.061143] microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x010000dc
[    1.061310] microcode: CPU2: patch_level=0x010000dc
[    1.061495] microcode: CPU3: patch_level=0x010000dc
[    1.061677] microcode: CPU4: patch_level=0x010000dc
[    1.061863] microcode: CPU5: patch_level=0x010000dc

That's early patching.
