[Ashok Raj]

The following set of patches address some limitations on microcode loading.

First patch avoids a redundant microcode load on sibling thread if
another HT sibling got updated.

Ashok Raj (3):
  x86/microcode/intel: Check microcode revision before updating sibling
    threads
  x86/microcode/intel: Perform a cache flush before ucode update.
  x86/microcode: Quiesce all threads before a microcode update.
