[PATCH v2 08/10] x86/smpboot.c: Early update ucode on AP

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Fri Nov 30 2012 - 03:50:48 EST


From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

This updates ucode on AP. At this point, BSP should store some valid ucode
patches in memory if it finds the ucode patches in initrd. AP searches the
stored ucode and uploads the ucode.
